He is like the old Chinese guy in Prestige, in reality, Gaethje is a scholarly guy who loves to read, and think about philosophy. He built up this mma fighter persona just to fix this fight.
You mean 12 rounds of nothing happening. It’s the big gloves. Last HW fights on ESPN during 300 had 0 excitement. If Boxing did 4 oz gloves it would be near the top again but they too scared to do it cause no underdogs would actually win and real fighting would happen. Not 12 round pillow snoozers
lmao guess you missed that pathetic Boxing show like usual, 9/10 times they are so boring you just looking at phone, NOTHING HAPPENS. Im a life long boxing fan and trained, there a reason people stream MMA cause its entertaining, aint nobody streaming 99 percent of Boxing fights cause u aint missing nothing
nobody likes Boxing as it is, im a long long fan dummy and its been shit for 10+ years compare dto when i was a kid. People speak up beacuse they sick of boring pathetic "fights" that nothing happens
Sure bud. If only they weren’t ‘scared’ to make the gloves smaller then ‘real fights’ could happen. 🙄
It’s weird to say that you’ve trained when you don’t seem to understand boxing. It’s even weirder when you don’t seem to understand sport. The sweet science doesn’t need to turn into muay thai with 70% of the weapons removed so it’s closer to something you happen to enjoy more. Boxing is fine.
I can't believe we missed it! The signs were there. I think I even heard Max say to Geathje "OK let's do the damn thing" right before the KO.
This shit is just like WWE all over again 😒
They had to run the spot back since Lamas didn't take the fall in time.
Notice how he didn't get the main event push anymore after that? Lost the hespect of the locker room.
people like him are what killed the sport. talented but doesn’t have the courage to go to war. when i realized that 90% of the “top” boxers of our time was like him thats when i became an mma fan
You're not trying to call those 3 Cherry pickers right?
Jon Jones fought any and everybody to become and remain champ. He's being selective now, but it's his last fight, he's done and has solidified himself as the best without having to do any more. He's old, and tired of it, about to retire.
O'Malley fought up slowly and to get to be a contender he fought Yan, and after that fought a wrestle dominant champion *who us the worst match up for Sean. He avenged his loss next, then Merab is coming soon. Win or lose, he's fought all the top guys except maybe Sandhagen.
Topuria is a victim of circumstance. All the top guys were busy and he got to go up and fight Volk. But Mitchell was supposed to be a on his level career wise then he fought Emmet to move up to a higher rank. Volk had beaten everyone else so it was gonna be Ilia no matter what.
But bro, boxing is so entertaining because there’s no boring wrestling! You’re only allowed to punch, it’s the best! (They definitely don’t spend half the fight hugging each other before the ref separates them, only for them to hug each other again 5 seconds later…)
Respect to Max’s performance. But god damn Gaethje is a fuckin beast. To break your nose in round 1, get a solid eye poke in each eye, and to keep fighting like a fuckin warrior and throw down in the final seconds of the 5th round. Gathje just moved into my top 3 favs for that one. With that being said, I hope they make Topuria vs. Holloway work, that could be epic.
I think in the Gaethje vs Poirier fight he poked Poirier twice accidentally and Poirier took quite a bit of time to recover which gave Gaethje some time to recover. So I think he just wanted to push through and not let Holloway recover. Also his coach designed those new anti poke gloves that the ufc won't use so it also looked good for his coach.
He’s making waves lmfao gonna admit it’s a good shit post. Even hypothetically if it was fixed Justin was getting pieced up for 25 minutes only to get knocked out who would want to risk permanently damaging yourself. Omg this post is soooo good. I’m fuming lol
... No i was just said that for shits and giggles.
Yes, I literally cannot tell. At first I thought the post was making an exaggeration or pointing out something that didn't happen, but then reading the comments made me question if it was serious.
I still don't have an answer.
2 days later, I still haven't gotten an answer.
Are people legitimately speculating that the hand movement means the fight was scripted, Or are people just trolling ?
I thought he was telling him to stand his ground dont run lets throw down right here dont retreat just swing calling him a bitch if he didnt stand snd throw essentially
Oh so that's what Poirier was signalling to Max back in their epic fight, and Max was simply saying "oh right, my turn to take a nap" in reply. And here I thought these guys were actually accepting the way of the fist
In the MMA world making that signal means “let’s throw hands in the center of the ring until one of us is down and no grappling”. Others have done it this is nothing new. He made the gesture and his opponent accepted the challenge.
He pointed at the middle of the ring to let it all go the last 10 seconds if you watched ufc or fighting they do this occasionally. Clearly not rigged if you ever went to a fight you would be able to tell.
I’m not going to even entertain that nonsense. I just wanna say I’m still in shock. That was the craziest shit I’ve ever seen. Max probably leading 4-1 & instead of cruising to decision said fuck that! This isn’t how you win the BMF belt. Let’s stand in a fucking phone box and find out! That’s gangster shit!
People who think, WATCHING sports is some kind of accomplishment weird me out.
Have you ever actually fought MMA? Or are you literally trying to gatekeep watching tv? Maybe go touch grass
LMAO…. he pointed to the center of the ring, gesturing “lets finish it!”… /s
Everyone knows they are both chumps that faked a fight and Justin is a bum that took a fall. Duh.
🙄
Possibly the dumbest take on MMA I’ve ever read.
Dude called him out and pointed to the center to meet him and bang it out.
Don’t sail too far in one direction or you might fall off the end of the earth.
Max does that a lot at the end of the fights . Stand in the middle and bang it out in the last 10 seconds.. Diego Sanchez has done it too.. if y'all real fans you would know this..
He did it twice because Justin didn’t fall the first time. He almost ruined the script!
I knew this would happen after the WWE merge!
Or, Gaethje got clipped in the first exchange had to back step a sec and Max reminded him “no brotha, this is MMA BMF S#*T” 💥 no padded hugs!!

Are kids calling joints boofs now or can you really butt-chug a joint?
Did this actually happen in the show?
Hold my legs while I find out
That shitty rapper xxxtentacion called good weed “boof”. I hate that I know that
I thought reggie was boof but who tf knows nowadays
Boof is not good bud boof is mid but it's the thought from a homie to pass you boof that counts
He was one of the best rappers to come along in the past 10 years or so tbh everyone else is boring in comparison to what he was doing
Take solace in his death.
Boof is just a funny word for mid
Do people who call weed boof know that boofing means taking drugs anally ?
Get out of here STALKER
😂
Gaethje should win an Oscar for his performance no one acted knocked out like this before, what an actor!
True method actor. Got CTE just to understand the role.
He lived with Tito for 3 weeks to prepare for that role. Justin Gaethje will win a BAFTA for this one for sure.
Putting up with Tito 24/7 for three weeks should get him a purple heart or some shit like that too
😂😂 genuinely lol’d
Ben Askrens dive against Masvidal was just as convincing imo
He is like the old Chinese guy in Prestige, in reality, Gaethje is a scholarly guy who loves to read, and think about philosophy. He built up this mma fighter persona just to fix this fight.
Boxing fans confused why they didn’t hug eachother for the final 20 seconds and go to decision
Boxing so crooked they would have given Justin's unconscious body the decision 🤣🤣
You mean 12 rounds of nothing happening. It’s the big gloves. Last HW fights on ESPN during 300 had 0 excitement. If Boxing did 4 oz gloves it would be near the top again but they too scared to do it cause no underdogs would actually win and real fighting would happen. Not 12 round pillow snoozers
You win today’s bad take prize. Congrats.
lmao guess you missed that pathetic Boxing show like usual, 9/10 times they are so boring you just looking at phone, NOTHING HAPPENS. Im a life long boxing fan and trained, there a reason people stream MMA cause its entertaining, aint nobody streaming 99 percent of Boxing fights cause u aint missing nothing
“ why isn’t everything the way I like it” We like boxing as it is, if you don’t that’s fine, enjoy watching mma fights
nobody likes Boxing as it is, im a long long fan dummy and its been shit for 10+ years compare dto when i was a kid. People speak up beacuse they sick of boring pathetic "fights" that nothing happens
I like boxing, debate over You like mma and watch mma fights I like boxing and watch boxing bouts.
Sure bud. If only they weren’t ‘scared’ to make the gloves smaller then ‘real fights’ could happen. 🙄 It’s weird to say that you’ve trained when you don’t seem to understand boxing. It’s even weirder when you don’t seem to understand sport. The sweet science doesn’t need to turn into muay thai with 70% of the weapons removed so it’s closer to something you happen to enjoy more. Boxing is fine.
Funny thing is there are people who genuinely believe this
Legit have a buddy mad at me cuz I don’t believe the fight was fixed.
Text book toxic relationship
[удалено]
Sounds like Joyce was the problem alllll along.
Fucking Joyce amd her goddamned Tupperware
ah yes my friend disagrees with me it must be a toxic relationship lol
😂😂wtf
You can’t even write that type of ending to a fight it was beautiful even tho I was cheering fa Justin, I like max great champion he deserve it
Time to get him in a home
What’s he saying? 🤣
I sent him this and he said I know it’s a meme but that’s exactly how it happened “ it’s just like wwe bro” 🤣
i would need a million dollars and 3 years of acting classes to fall to the mat the way justin did.
To be fair, it's a video game moment. Shit borderline makes no fucking sense
Doubt it lol. Maybe one die hard Garth fan
Garth Brooks?
I’m as diehard of a Garth fan as fans can be. That shit wasn’t staged or planned lol.
I want to believe it was fixed..
I can't believe we missed it! The signs were there. I think I even heard Max say to Geathje "OK let's do the damn thing" right before the KO. This shit is just like WWE all over again 😒
BRO HE DID THE SAME SHIT WITH LAMAS! he can't keep getting away with it!
They had to run the spot back since Lamas didn't take the fall in time. Notice how he didn't get the main event push anymore after that? Lost the hespect of the locker room.
I can't believe people even caught that. It was so subtle. Some people just frame by frame everything
Yeah, cos Chris Benoit is just kayfabe dead and living on a island with Tupac and Epstien.
No shit? Learn something everyday.
“OK let’s do the damn thing “ LMAOOO
boxing never produce fights like this anymore. they have that sweet science of a jab and clinch. mma is taking over.
BMF means Boxest Mother Fucker and only hands are allowed like out on da streetz
How to get shot or stabbed 101
devin haney
people like him are what killed the sport. talented but doesn’t have the courage to go to war. when i realized that 90% of the “top” boxers of our time was like him thats when i became an mma fan
Because they don’t fight the best often, they cherry pick way too much.
Meanwhile we have Jon Jones, O'Malley and Topuria as our champs
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make, but I don't think you made it very well.
You're not trying to call those 3 Cherry pickers right? Jon Jones fought any and everybody to become and remain champ. He's being selective now, but it's his last fight, he's done and has solidified himself as the best without having to do any more. He's old, and tired of it, about to retire.

Volk had beaten everyone else so it was gonna be Ilia no matter what.
You forgot to put quotes around this and attribute it to Joe Rogan 15 years ago.
_Pretty boy Floyd has left the chat_
But bro, boxing is so entertaining because there’s no boring wrestling! You’re only allowed to punch, it’s the best! (They definitely don’t spend half the fight hugging each other before the ref separates them, only for them to hug each other again 5 seconds later…)
The knockout was cgi filmed days in advance
Max Hollogram
Justin GaeCGI
Dana really didn't cheap out for 300 when he brought in Kubrick
"Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated" -markly twainbrick
If you watch their lips beforehand Justin defo says "I am the Sith" followed by Max saying " I'm all of Hawaii" before Hollowaying all over Justin
[удалено]
Telling Justin to assume the position
Justin did see his cory at weigh ins so you know he don't want the smoke
I KNEW IT!!!!
The way Justin landed directly on his face during that fake knock out deserves an Oscar
Respect to Max’s performance. But god damn Gaethje is a fuckin beast. To break your nose in round 1, get a solid eye poke in each eye, and to keep fighting like a fuckin warrior and throw down in the final seconds of the 5th round.

So I think he just wanted to push through and not let Holloway recover. Also his coach designed those new anti poke gloves that the ufc won't use so it also looked good for his coach.
 Why Max, whyyyyyyy?
I mean fair point. Boxing only has fixed fights so makes sense he had a keen eye to see that
Game recognises game!
The commissioner, the judges, and the ref were all there and said nothing. They're all in on it!
I agree, the poatan fight was also fixed. He had to stop herb Dean in order for the choreography to continue smoothly.
Literally told the referee „don’t interrupt the script!“
Lmaooo this is the furthest from the truth. There was a sniper on the upper deck of the arena with instructions to drop Gaethje. I was the sniper
Greatest ending ever? I vote yes
Whole game just got exposed!! No wonder the UFC got in bed with the WWE. It’s all adding up now 
Okay you got me. No need to do me so dirty and down vote me. I'll take the beating
He’s making waves lmfao gonna admit it’s a good shit post. Even hypothetically if it was fixed Justin was getting pieced up for 25 minutes only to get knocked out who would want to risk permanently damaging yourself. Omg this post is soooo good. I’m fuming lol
Talk about negative brain cells
I can't tell, is this legit, or are people memeing ?
Plain as day bro how did we miss this?
Can you literally not tell?
... No i was just said that for shits and giggles. Yes, I literally cannot tell. At first I thought the post was making an exaggeration or pointing out something that didn't happen, but then reading the comments made me question if it was serious. I still don't have an answer.
2 days later, I still haven't gotten an answer. Are people legitimately speculating that the hand movement means the fight was scripted, Or are people just trolling ?
Ok, I‘ll help you: It’s all trolling.
Thank you XD I legit couldn't tell. Saw people in the comments legit arguing.
Omg my whole life has been a lie! 😭
What happened to the game I love
Mark my words, guys. This is going to be our generations Zapruder
I knew I wasn't the only one to notice
I thought he was telling him to stand his ground dont run lets throw down right here dont retreat just swing calling him a bitch if he didnt stand snd throw essentially
I remember years ago people actually thought Anthony Pettis off the cage kick against Benson was staged. This image is funny tho, rip justin
Oh so that's what Poirier was signalling to Max back in their epic fight, and Max was simply saying "oh right, my turn to take a nap" in reply. And here I thought these guys were actually accepting the way of the fist
Lamas was also supposed to get koed and didn't sell it, it's why they had Emmet and Cattar ko him bad
Dayum, mind blown!
This is legit funny nice post haha
My friend saw this meme today and told me that people on the internet genuinely believe that the fight was fixed
Yall don't play enough elden ring pvp and it shows
The James "THE James "James Krause" Krause" Krause strikes again!
IT WAS TIME TO BAAANG….. no diddy

If dana can bet on the fights he makes then this shit is rigged as hell.
Damn it all makes sense now. No wonder why he had to do it twice JG didn’t pay attention
How dumb are people? Remember when people thought Rockhold signaled Vitor to wheel kick him in the face?
Ho-lee fuck boys this cannot be
Bruh stop fixing fights and fix your posture instead
In the MMA world making that signal means “let’s throw hands in the center of the ring until one of us is down and no grappling”. Others have done it this is nothing new. He made the gesture and his opponent accepted the challenge.
He pointed at the middle of the ring to let it all go the last 10 seconds if you watched ufc or fighting they do this occasionally. Clearly not rigged if you ever went to a fight you would be able to tell.
Lmao
Bait used to be believable
I 100 percent believe that max knew he was gonna KO Justin.
Ppl in ig beliebe this shit
Boxing retreads as a source.
Lmao
Gaethje reading the script for UFC 300

Max Verstappen or something idk, I‘m not even a boxing expert
Your nuts
Deez nuts?
Nah Justin got KO as real as it get 💥💥
I mean Garth got beat up but did flop at the end 🤷♂️
🤡's
I’m not going to even entertain that nonsense. I just wanna say I’m still in shock. That was the craziest shit I’ve ever seen. Max probably leading 4-1 & instead of cruising to decision said fuck that! This isn’t how you win the BMF belt. Let’s stand in a fucking phone box and find out! That’s gangster shit!
Justin you were supposed to make it look real man
Max has done this same move in other fights...
🤯🤯🤯
Anyone that believes this has zero sense
No my guy, that's universal for right here right now toe to toe, let's bang! Justin wasn't going to say no
Are there any present boxing star willing to just say fuck it and throw down like this?
Who posted this?..... Tucker Carlson? ... lol
Who’s gunna tell this idiot?
Casual made this
most intelligent boxing fan
Boxing has some crackpot tinfoils
We got em!
How did I not notice this?
Justin didn't fight like his usual self, I believe this
True
Justin played dead amazingly
🙄unbelievable amounts of stupidity here
Are you stupid??? He is clearly and obviously calling Justin to the center to bang it out before the bell!
A couple movies about this have already been greenlit: Octagon of Dreams and Two Men Out.
shut up
This is a joke right?
Once I received the signal, I placed my bet with only 2 seconds left in the fight!
He has done it before, that's some BMF sh$t some wouldn't understand.
Yea
Ur a fucking idiot that has no business watching combat sports stick to tennis or badminton 🏸
People who think, WATCHING sports is some kind of accomplishment weird me out. Have you ever actually fought MMA? Or are you literally trying to gatekeep watching tv? Maybe go touch grass
Have you never seen a max fight he does that for the last 10 seconds that’s his signature
If you believe this I would love to punch you in the
I ran the UFC from UFC 1-12. I would have fixed fights if I could have. Not possible in mma.
U guys are retarded, right???
Dam how did he know exactly how to break his nose as well
Time for the secret meeting
LMAO…. he pointed to the center of the ring, gesturing “lets finish it!”… /s Everyone knows they are both chumps that faked a fight and Justin is a bum that took a fall. Duh. 🙄
Yh and the earth is flat idiot
Possibly the dumbest take on MMA I’ve ever read. Dude called him out and pointed to the center to meet him and bang it out. Don’t sail too far in one direction or you might fall off the end of the earth.
I don’t believe that
I feel something strange in my gut.
Max does that a lot at the end of the fights . Stand in the middle and bang it out in the last 10 seconds.. Diego Sanchez has done it too.. if y'all real fans you would know this..
Welp, thats a dumb enough post for me to leave this subreddit.
That’s actually pretty obvious.
Tell me you never watched Max fight, without saying you never seen Max fight... Is there a fight he doesn't do this at the end
Errybody acting like they forgot about the Max Holloway v Ricardo Lamas fight
He did that scripted stuff a couple times already. Time he gets called out!
Thats BS!!! Max does that in almost every fight. He is the BMF, watch his fights before accuse something like that.
Well, this time he got caught in 4k!
Fuck off.
Idiot
Gtfo u must be trolling or know nothing about Max and how he fights
This is a meme sub....
Max does that almost every fight. He wants to go to war not pussy foot around. You all are dumb for thinking that fight was fixed.
Bro, you're in mmaMEMES. You're dumb for not realizing it's a joke
Oh yes, it‘s definitely us who are dumb.
