Mark Coleman shares three-word reaction to Chad Johnson challenging Max Holloway following UFC 300
Former UFC heavyweight champion Mark Coleman reacted to Chad Johnson's comment about facing BMF champion Max Holloway after his thrilling victory at UFC 300.
Johnson, a former wide receiver with the Cincinnati Bengals, is a co-host on the Nightcap podcast alongside three-time Super Bowl champion Shannon Sharpe. On their podcast, Johnson asked Sharpe about how he would fare in a fight against Holloway.
Sharpe did not hesitate in immediately responding and giving Johnson 30 seconds against Holloway.
"Let me ask you a question, I was state wrestling champ in ’82. I got hands. So at what point do you think Max Holloway would beat me if we were to get into the octagon? Like round one, two or three?" Johnson asked.
"Thirty seconds. I’m putting all my money, I’m taking all the money I got, everything I own and putting it on Max Holloway. Beat the brakes off you and two more people just like you," Sharpe replied.

Coleman reacted to Johnson's proposal in the comments of the Instagram post. The first-ever UFC heavyweight champion wrote that he would like to see the matchup.
"Let’s see this [hands clapping emoji]."
