How much did Max Holloway make in UFC 300?
Max Holloway was the undisputed bonus king of UFC 300, taking home a total of $600,000.

This $600,000 bonus haul was on top of his reported fight purse and other earnings, with some estimates placing his total payout for the night over $2.1 million.
His victory over Justin Gaethje will be replayed for generations. With mere seconds left in their five-round war, Holloway pointed to the canvas, inviting Gaethje to a final stand-and-trade exchange.
He then followed through, knocking out Gaethje with a single second remaining on the clock to claim the BMF title in what commentators called the “KO of the century”.
