Wow, Max Holloway. 
Most of this week's show is spent discussing the results of UFC 300, but we probably could have spent the entire hour talking about how awesome Max Holloway was in his victory over BMF Champion Justin Gaethje. 
We also run down a few fight announcements, including the big one of Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler in June, and we have the return of Liam's PFL Corner segment.
Then in our Hammer History segment we look back 500 episodes to late May 2014, and our take on the UFC's experiment in running two events in one day.
