One of the most disrespectful ass whoopings of all time. When your opponent has to remind you to remember your fundamentals in the middle of the fight, you’re gettin molly whopped.

Max teaching Ortega how to fight in the middle of the scrap was an all-time moment in the UFC. I wish we had good audio because it should be celebrated by the UFC and one Max's sizzle reel. Max is the real CHAMP

yup he was injured a couple of times too, made so many people doubt his reign as champ. Max is a legend and future Hall of Famer
Why the F*ck can't i find the 'Teaching Ortega Midfight' moment here?
Tony is the type of guy to call ortega and congratulates him for the jaw breaking face smashing performance.
This fight was a first glimpse of what Max in his prime looks like. When you can't stop his jab and rhythm he snowballs into a combination puncher and looks like a world beater. We now know from the Volkanovski and Rodriguez fights that its imperative you don't let him do this.

Max is somehow similar to Joe Frazier in that once he gets into rhythm he’s almost unstoppable
Even thinking about the fight with Volk, you can recall the improvements in Ortega's striking. His striking looked much sharper in his second title fight than it did here. It is noticeable, even if in both he ended up getting the crap kicked out of him.

Hard to really say that because Ortega was knocking guys out before fighting Holloway and everyone thought he was some godly striker. Then he beat Zombie and the same narrative started.
Respect on both Max for taking a moment to teach him instead of just demolishing him, and Ortega for being humble and taking instruction to learn instead of having an ego. Well done guys! 💪🏽
Life changing beat down right there
On a max Holloway binge rn? Anyone else? Most under appreciated

I think he already did that in both his fights with the great Jose Aldo. Max left no doubt he was the man to beat at 145 and that the Aldo era, (sadly) was over.
One of the greatest performances ever

I still remember, when mid fight Holloway taught Ortega, how to block his punches😂.

this is a striking clinic
Max fightingstyle was so unique and cool
Showing levels
I’ve never seen Holloway blink in a fight, he is a shark in bloody water
Halloways stamina though, this fight and the calvin kattar fight was one of the best
Who makes the background music for the ufc dawg? The beat on this was crazy
Here you see more footwork then in all boxing matches even at dazn.. Diaz and holloway have such a Volume punching style, reminded me on superflyweight boxingchamps like chocolatito, el gallo.. Combined punches everywhere.. body head.. Footwork is very good, holloway never stood too wide.. i see holloway struggle with kicking guys more then with bjj.. Blessed is a real good all-around guy.. But maybe too tall and Lanky for some fighters with kicks and Solid wrestling
This is up there with, "You know I deserve this."

That was just a good old fashioned beat down.
Max is king of fights that should’ve been stopped rounds before they were actually stopped
Max has possibly the best boxing in the division maybe the sport.
Gold
Max is death by a thousand cuts embodied into a human … just jab after jab after bomb then back to jabs just doesn’t let up just picks you apart
Dirty beatdown by max🎉
A clinic
max is the best
Max Holloway vs Tony Ferguson was stolen from us. Damn it.

Jesus. It's like Max has magnets in his hands.

You cant load up on Max. I wanna see Max n Volk one more time. These two are best.
Me fucking around with my friend that never played ufc 4 before 😂

Max holoway should go to boxing he will kill it🎉
I was wondering for years how come Eddie Alvarez mouthpiece has such a weird shape, any thoughts?
Max ain't letting him to shot for takedown
i think low key actually the most RESPECTFUL moment i’ve ever seen in a ring… but i could be dead wrong it could’ve been the most disrespectful lol but based off feel i think it was from a good place
You have to respect Ortega he fought even after all of that
Max DESTROYED him
Deep!! Max beat ‘em bad!!
Lovely love anya
What was ortegas team teaching him? Crazy how max just shut everything down
Looked like max was just doing a training drill on ortega
Max is a mf Beast, he's surgical. These boxers who are calling mma fighters out, stay away from the God Holloway... trust me.

Cant gind that moment here. Have you seen it?
Good reminder that there are levels to this game. It’s Volk and Holloway at the top, and maybe we’ll see Giga there soon.
I wonder if Ortega remembered he can use his feet too kick.
Ortega's face gets damaged relatively easy. Max has a lot of volume but not a lot of power, he hit many people a bunch of times and it didn't produce that much swelling, like Kattar. Alex messed up Ortega's face too.
thought this was a free fight😢
If max was stronger it would be game over for everyone
Getting beat is bad enough, But getting a school lesson and beating,I would quit
He can win against Volkanovski, just need good game plan, not make jokes, put him on the ground a bit, here and there, it’s coming, the belt is on the way 🙏

He has to if he's ever to regain the belt. Otherwise Volk's going to remain on top until someone dethrones him, and by that stage Holloway has probably moved on to fighting at 155 instead.

@@craigthebrute1043 Yeah that would suck and taint his legacy somewhat, as Volk would surpass him in Featherweight GOAT status (replacing him as #2 to Aldo). Having to live with the knowledge that someone is just better than you and has your number is a difficult pill to swallow for anyone who loves winning and hates losing.

Did max give volk more of a fight than khabibs boy?
