Maxx Crosby is angry at Max Holloway, and the reason involves Crosby’s wife. The UFC 300 card was hyped as the greatest fight card ever assembled by Dana White. With such huge expectations from the card, there were doubts about whether it would actually deliver. However, on the fight night, UFC 300 delivered at a level no one expected. While there were many ‘holy s**t’ moments, the top spot was surely taken by Max Holloway. ‘Blessed’ secured a knockout with one second left on the clock. Ironically, Holloway was a huge underdog going into the fight. But, for Raiders’ star, Maxx Crosby’s wife, the choice was clear as day.

“But my wife, even though it pisses me off sometimes, she always seems to be right. And she is like a massive Max Holloway fan. She’s like no I am telling you everyone’s sleeping. The way he did it was probably the most iconic, one of the most iconic sports memories I’ve ever had in my life. He literally already had the fight in the bag. That dude is a different breed and that is the sh*t I love watching.”

What did Maxx Crosby say about the fight?
Maxx Crosby stated that he was ringside at the event and for 10-minutes after the knockout of Justin Gaethje, he had nothing to say but, “oh my god”. Crosby went on to add that it was very difficult for him to pick a side as he was extremely close to both the fighters.
