Maxx Crosby hails Max Holloways iconic knockout moment at UFC 300 as one of the most iconic sport
Maxx Crosby was watching every move of Max Holloway as he took on Justin Gaethje at UFC 300. Even though there were doubts about whether the BMF Belt match would be as interesting as its previous iterations, the fight dropped a lot of jaws when it finished.
Crosby was at the Las Vegas Raiders facility on Monday as they kicked off the voluntary training session. During a one-on-one session with the media, Crosby revealed that he could not talk for 10 minutes after Holloway knocked out Gaethje.
Oh, my god. For 10 minutes straight, I could not believe what happened. I am a huge fan of both of those guys and have so much respect.Maxx Crosby said
Crosby is well acquainted with Gaethje because he is a massive Raiders fan. The mixed martial artists have attended several games at the Allegiant Stadium in the past.
Maxx Crosby claimed his wife loves Max Holloway
Before the bout at T-Mobile Arena, Corsby’s wife, Rachel Washburn, a massive Holloway fan, told the Raiders pass rusher that Gaethje would lose. The 26-year-old revealed that it ‘pis**’ him off because he was rooting for Gaethje.
My wife, even though it pi**es me off sometimes, 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 [Max Holloway].Crosby added
Rachel hit the bullseye with her prediction, which threw Crosby off a little. However, he believes the Holloway knockout was one of the most iconic moments of his life.
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.Crosby said
Besides his mutual admiration for Holloway, Crosby also spoke about his health. The three-time Pro Bowler often suffers from a bad knee.
Rehab has been incredible. I just did my conditioning test last week and smashed it, and I’m feeling better than I ever have. So it’s been an incredible offseason so far.Crosby revealed
A healthy Maxx Crosby is a danger for the rest of the NFL. Last season, he was one of the best players in the Raiders squad, completing 90 tackles and a career-best 14.5 sacks. He is currently under contract for 4 years, making $94 million, with $53 million guaranteed, making him one of the highest-paid edge rushers in the game.
