Max
\nHolloway<\/a>\u2019s pointing down at the ground in the final 10 seconds
\nof his fights started with one of his former opponents taunting

\nseconds of the fight has gained a cult following in MMA now.

Holloway felt that he was comfortably winning the fight and planned
\nto remain defensively sound in the last round. However, Lamas threw
\nhis hands up in the air in the final seconds, hinting that Holloway
\nwas coasting. Holloway initially couldn\u2019t understand why Lamas was
\ntaunting him when he was winning. However, when Lamas did it a
\nthird time, Holloway threw caution to the wind and invited him to a
\nbrutal brawl. Holloway respects Lamas for honoring the invitation
\nand letting his hands go.<\/p>\n

\u2018He Threw Down\u2019<\/h2>\n

\u201cIt all started because I fought Ricardo
\nLamas<\/a>\u2026 I felt like I was handling that fight really good,\u201d
\nHolloway said on Freestylebender<\/a>. \u201cAnd in the last 30 seconds, I
\nwas moving away, just circling away. He kind of stuck his hand up
\nto me like, \u2018Yo, what the hell?\u2019 I was thinking, \u2018No way bro,\u2019 I
\nwas tripping seeing him go like this (hands up in the air). And
\nthen I slipped something and he went like that again. He was saying
\nnothing but in my mind I was like, \u2018What is going on? I\u2019m winning.
\nWhy is he acting like that?\u2019 And then the last time he did it, I
\nwas like, \u2018You know what? Whatever. Ten seconds bro, if you want to
\nbe about it, let\u2019s see if you are about it.\u2019 He threw down though,
\nrespect to him.\u2019\u201d
