On commentary, Joe Rogan called it the greatest knockout of all time as he praised Holloway's masterful performance inside the Octagon.
He's in line to pocket a massive $300,000 Performance of the Night bonus after Dana White increased the bonuses at the pre-fight press conference.
Speaking to Rogan inside the Octagon, Holloway called out UFC champions Ilia Topuria and Islam Makhachev.
"'El Matador' [Ilia Topuria] he is running from the bull at 145," he said. "Tell him to sign the contract. Islam [Makhachev] is famous for defending against [featherweights] right? I’m him. I’m right here!
"Any weight, I’m gladiator. I don’t care, whoever’s next sign the dotted line."
