- Two days after his historic and iconic knockout over Justin Gaethje to win the UFC's BMF belt at UFC 300, Waianae's Max Holloway landed back home at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport on Oahu.
Just blessed man, just blessed," Holloway told KHON2's Rob DeMello on Monday. "Shout out to Justin Gaethje highlight. Without him, none of this is possible. He had a lot to lose and he went out there like a true BMF. Gave me the shot. Big UFC 300. To go out like that, man it's just, it's amazing, man. ... It's blessed and being reminded who blessed was and I think we did that.
"You wanna be etched, you wanna put your name in the legacies and the histories, and this is how you do it, you know? "

better questions than ufc reporters
Yo this guy actually asked decent questions and was professional af
Yo you aint lyin this man cared those ufc guys could care less.
UFC management doesn't allow or promote real reporters, they just allow influencers like Nina Drama.
those "ufc" reporters are not ufc's reporter they're all just like this guy lol
those guys aren't actual journalists thats why
Just imagine winning at UFC 300 in that fashion, getting 600k in bonuses and then going to the wonderful land of Hawaii, your home, to rest. Bro is living the dream!
All great, but knowing that after taxes and paying his team and all costs beside, he will have like 1 third of that sum... but 300 and max in it, did such a thing for sport and fans, its bigger than all of that. His great
unfortunately we need 600k a year to live here modestly w these crazy inflation hikes these past 4 years!
with his beautiful wife too lol!
man deserves every penny of that bonus
Amongst teams it's usually a given that the fighters keep their whole bonus, unlike purse@@adamant8501
This guy needs to be a ufc reporter
Probably makes more working for the station.
He's overqualified for that lol
Ufc will give him set questions no way don't corrupt this legend
No they don't. Hawaii needs him. He's one of the best
Thats like seeing a famous Hollywood top tier A list actress and saying "This women needs to be on cornhub*"..
I'll give a shout out to Rob for conducting such a smoove live interview with the BMF Champ!
Is this Tony Ferguson? Looks like him
gaethje won that fight
@@BillBagBargensonsBarger On which universe?
@@itayonplay352 do not enertain trolls bro.. Gaethje got knocked out. Do you think you really have to respond to that troll - they are clearly delusional lol.
@@AwesomeMan2696well of course he got Ko, but that was last 10 seconds. I think max was up on cards tho either way, but Justin having a broken nose for 4 rounds and the double eye poke set him back.....he probably burries max if he don't get his nose blasted, esp If he last another 4 rds and drops max in round 4
My left ear loved this interview.
Watch on the phone🤝🏻
Must've not plugged the mic in all the way.
@@astifcaulkinyeras nope this shit only working in the left
looolm didn't realize until i read this, nice
I was thinking my headphones messed up
Reporter is on point. UFC give this man a contract
It’s true? Good!
Demello is the man. One of the best in the business
agreed he knows impact of a legendary fight/fighter and speaks for all of us foreal
Ufc won't pay him enough 😂😂😂
Agree this whole interview was refreshing
Real fan interviewer - respect
That reporters very good. 👍
Lies again? Sign Autographs Ramenten Rakuten
That reporter did his homework ! Congrats Blessed !!!
braddah Rob is the best in the business here in the islands!!
@@Hawaii96720I second that every Hawaii athlete love interviewing with him
When it comes to Hawai’i our people would always know about the champ
Max "you wanna be edged" Holloway @1:12
🤣🤣🤣
he caught himself there lol
😮💨
After that KO I straight up busted 😅
Read your comment while Max said it in the video. Lol
Why'd this reporter kill it so hard LOL blessed man forever
This reporter really knew his shit. Obviously studied maxs post fight interview. Great questions. Well done.
Max is a cool fella and speaks like he never took a head smack in his life.
Yep he's a good dude.🤛
best chin ever
He doesn’t sparr
He actually did for this camp he said, being Gaethje as opponent he felt the need to@@byronbass5485
You haven't heard a lot of his interviews then
4:35 his son celebrating harder than him 💪
Rush proud of his dad💪💪💪
thats so cool
@@haaatskias he should be!! His pops is the Blessed Man Forever! ✌️
Reporter did a good job on the interview.
HAWAIIAN SUPERMAN.
BJ penn & Max💪
@@jboi6398 he still got that hawaii pride. born n raised! 👊
Truly our superman
Nahh he compares himself to Deadpool in earlier interviews lol he’s funny as fuck and can see him being Hawaiian Deadpool
Holloway getting that love finally 😂
He was always loved...now, he's put himself in that Superstar stratosphere.
He always been loved by his fans and neutrals tho, everyone likes him, now his fan base is growing,
Finally? Max has always gotten love. He's literally one of the most loved fighters in the UFC. Are you new or something?
Hawaii always love Max
@rickyayy obviously 😂
Making millions of people jump out of their seat around the world - I was one of them. Blessed Man Forever.
💯
🐐
Man UFC should hire this reporter 😅dude is great he don't deserve to wait at a airport get that man to the next UFC card !
We are BLESSED for having Holloway in our Generation.
This guy askes way good questions and is knowledgeable of Max and his career. You can tell hes an actual fan. Max deserves so much love and respect.
How is this man not a MMA journalist. It seems like nowadays we have these CZcamsrs getting huge but never asking any questions worth answering. Or they ask whatever everyone else does. Thank you Rob for such a great interview while being mindful of Max’s time 🤙
Max has earned bringing a ufc to Hawaii and people would travel world wide for it.
absolutely, 100%, but max, being the great guy he is, hates the idea of borderline extorting his fellow hawaiians for those insane ufc ticket prices, and i don't blame him... he knows they'd pull up in troves, but wouldn't feel good seeing them drop $300+ on a ticket, and in some cases much, much, more. guy's a gentleman.
The airports and roads and other infrastructure can't handle having huuuge events
you even watch the interview??
But like he said, Hawaii doesn't have the infastructure anymore. He would've packed and sold out Aloha Stadium, but Hawaii can't use it. Stan Sheriff and Blaisdelle centers are not big enough. I think hes hinting at the powers that be that Hawaii needs to step their game up for entertainment venues. Which they do. Hawaii is missing out on a lot of entertainment options because lawmakers can't get anything done on time and on budget ...
@@whitebuffalo4904 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 where did you come up with that one?!?!?! My boys over here living in fantasy land
Every interview, the first thing he does is shout out Justin. Good man
This KO will do for him what Masvidal's flying knee KO did for him. This puts him a WHOLE nother level of fame/money. NOBODY deserves it more than Max. He is truly blessed.
He needs to go to UFC 303 and if Conor beats Chandler he needs to go in the ring with the BMF Championship and challenge him that’s gonna be the biggest fight in UFC right now.
@@Tonycillian5 thats actually a really good take. theres gunna be a lot of people watching that fight cuz of Conor and a shot at the 145 or 155 title will always be there.
Aloha max. Represent hawaii with class.
True bmf bro. That was the best 10 second finish in MMA history
Props to JG for throwing it down, props to Blessed for offering it up
Not even a scratch on him. An absolute master class for 24 mns and 59secs... Blessed is the one👊💯🏆
Heck yah.. bradda Max for da Hawaiians cuz!! U show um!! Im def on da Blessed Express!! 🤙🏽 🤙🏽
Best fight of the year / KO of the Year, you guys all agree?
GUARANTEE 💯
To me that's the best KO of all time.
Probably , He won that in the most BMF way , already ahead on the cards, everything to lose vs the most violent man, and outboxed , stood in the pocket and traded like a true BMF, idk if anything can top that
@@diodelvino3048koed gatheje with the last one sec remaining on the clock, it was like a movie.
KO of the Year, but hard to beat Usman head kick, Porier head kick, Izzy KOing Alex, Ngannou on Stipe and that's just the last 4 or 5 years
Great interview. I can't believe how humble and down to earth Max is, the way he talks, and the way he's dressed, after possibly the best fight and finish I've seen. It's just unreal seeing him in this interview in the airport I've used often, among the other people in the baggage claim, after that crazy win at UFC 300. He just looks like a regular Hawaiian brotha. I see he wants to run back a couple losses from way back, but he'll alwalys be a winner in my book. Max truly is the BMF.
Smooth comment on the "Blessed Man Forever" 🙏🏽👊🏽
Max finally getting the attention he has always deserved. The BLESSED IS BEST BABY!
Man, I’m so happy for this guy.
He just keeps evolving. He always weaponized pace/endurance. And had the greatest durability of all time. With this power now, he’s at the start of a second act for the ages!
Coldest KO in UFC history!!! Congrats Braddah Max!!! Yessah!!! 🤙🏾
This guy is a top tier interview. Love to see Max get the recognition he deserves and to know that the people he fights for have got his back too
Love it when you come home and someone isn't on the bandwagon... that reporter was pulling it for really tho! You know he was tuned in! He definitely did his homework and is a bigger fan of the man Max Halloway than most!! 🎉🎉
Blessed Man Forever
Wow! This guy's better than 100% of any other MMA journalist put together x 10
Congrats Max.
❤ from Toronto. Max is a Legend.
Bro. Warrior Pride. Such an epic moment. God bless Hawaii and its people. 💯
Congratulations Max.
Top 10 one of the best mma interviews of all time.
That interview was awesome!!!
You can tell Rob is a huge fan 😂. He probably watched that fight on Saturday with everyone else.
He made that epic moment happen in those newly approved customized floral shorts too. How cool is that? Hawaii forever!!
Shoutout to the interviewer, knows his stuff and you can tell he's genuine. Loved this. Came right to the comments and see that everyone else noticed that too. Respect.
Such a wholesome interview. So much respect and love for Holloway.
Great interview conducted from the interviewer and major props to Killa Max
Bless Max forever
Whomever is this mans boss, give him a raise!
Great local reporting, maybe the best I have ever seen.
This man knew his stuff and didn't miss a beat!
Good on you sir!!
Max been training since sophomore in HS.
Goes to show you if you keep improving and stay away from negative influence you get to the top. FW Champion and BMF and now the most respected people's champion since Nate Diaz. Legendary story arc.
Sean O malley vlogs himself partying 3 days straight, smoking weed and binge drinking alcohol. Still made it to the top.
The idea that you have to live clean like an eagle scout to have success has stopped many from pursing athletics.
@@derricl5059 pre-party Conor vs superstar Conor
And the best is Blessed, baby!
Max put on a show. Ufc 300 was amazing
This is one of the best interviews I've ever seen. Someone give Rob a raise.
This is a great interview. Max has solidified himself as one of the greats in my eyes.
Great job sound guy!
Rob greatt interview 👏👏 Max Is BLESSED ❤❤ GREAT WIN HAWAIIAN 🤙🤙
Such a great interview! Congrats to you all.
Good job
Go Max
That put a smile on my face! Love Justin and love Max. Both winners!
Never mess with Blessed...MMA's G.O.A.T. right here...upvote if you agree
no goat is 0-3 and 0-2 against other fighters ...He is a legend, but no goat sorry.
Not many men are built like Max and I... we're animals
Bro stop, u ain’t him
Blud who the hell are you 💀
You aren't built like Max, man. Bro thinks he's him
@@ahmadjauhar4562we're built different bruddah. #1 special breed of human
Great interview, so happy for your win! Great job
great interview!
I didn't see his son yet at this celebration. Blessings to Holloway family.
Excellent interview...dude is good at his job....congrats to Max
How gracious & humble this guy is.
So happy for Max, all 100% deserved. Can't wait to follow along on what the Blessed Express does next. BTW, this interview was probably the best I have seen with Max through all of this 300 madness too. Well done.
Bro HOW is he not even limping? I sometimes bump my knee into metal at work and walk funky for atleast 2 days, this guy is built different. A legend already and looks like he may just be getting started
Sick coverage. The man knew what he was taking about. Most interviewers like that sound like goof balls but this dude was on point from start to finish.
If it’s one person everybody back home loves, it’s this man right here.❤
I was there in that arena and also had the opportunity to meet max after the official weigh ins. Thank you so much for an unforgettable night, Max. You are the man!💯💯💯
Great interview… max is a great roll model for future fighters and people in general. Excellent stuff
Love to see a true fan doing the interview, guy knows his stuff!
Great interview ❤
The love and admiration Max has for the islands is truly amazing.
The best is Blessed!
Congratulations. What a win.
Excellent interview!
GREAT job by the interviewer! Such an EPIC fight and KO by Holloway! Man, that was special! :)
Props for that interview 👊🏼
Finally a good reporter, smoothly conducted, good questions and the dude did his homework.
He deserves all the praise , what a performance at 300 Jerome !!
Welcome home Max! Congratulations on the masterclass performance and win at UFC 300 👏👏👏
So happy for Max. He’s been in my top 5 for years. He put on a hell of a fight. That performance will go down in the history books (like others of his)! Congrats to our new BMF champ Max 👊🏼 I’ve never this reporter before but man he’s good!!!
The reporter is obviously a huge UFC fan 💯💯
Great interview Rob!! Good questions
Great interview!
Awesome interview.
Good quality interview, well spoken interviewer, smart questions. Pleasure to listen.
Good interview!
It's good that Max finally gets the recognition that he deserves, He's always Blessed and puts In the Hard work to stay that way.
Salute Brother 🙏
Great interview! He knew all Max’s keywords! Haha Blessed Express! Blessed Man Forever!
That is one the best reporter/interviews I’ve seen. Better than a lot of ESPN folks.
What a welcome, and WHAT A PERFORMANCE! Hana hou! Congrats to Max. You immortalized a moment in time for a whole lot of people.
That reporter crushed that interview! It was a perfect performance like Max Holloway's performance last Saturday. Kudos to you sir 👌
Great interview too.🎉 Alright Max!!
Such an admirable person. He deserves all the blessings because of his humility. Thank you for that unforgettable ufc 300.
First time ever I'm commenting on a random video. This reporter just deserved his flowers! Big up
