"That sound of contact was unreal" - Max Holloway left stunned by woman's "league of its own" chin
UFC featherweight Max Holloway has reacted to a shocking viral video of a woman being hit by a bat on social media.
In the video, the two women engage in a heated exchange before one of them picks up a bat and attacks the other. Holloway was tagged in the video because the woman that's being hit repeatedly to the head isn't knocked unconscious and instead continues fighting.
Twitter user @AlexBehunin tagged the former featherweight champion and said:
"She got that Max Holloway chin"
The Hawaiian native responded to the video and was shocked, adding that her chin deserves to be in its own league.
"No. Her chin in a league of its own. That sound of contact was unreal."

Max Holloway was tagged because he is yet to be KO'd or TKO'd during his MMA career. The 30-year-old (23-7) has only been finished once, via a triangle-armbar courtesy of Dustin Poirier back in 2012. The other losses have all been decisions, including three to Alexander Volkanovski and one to MMA star Conor McGregor.
Despite coming up short against Volkanovski on three occasions, Holloway remains the No.1 ranked featherweight and No.13 in the P4P rankings.
With 'The Great' now set to take the step up to lightweight, Holloway could soon find himself fighting for 145lb gold once again.
Henry Cejudo open to fighting Max Holloway if bantamweight title fight doesn't happen
Henry Cejudo surprised fans when he announced in May that he was returning to the USADA testing pool. He stated that his desire to return was to reattain his double champ status by recapturing the flyweight and bantamweight titles.
The Olympic gold medalist has however teased that he could be set for a sensational move to featherweight. That is if a bout with bantamweight champ Aljamain Sterling fails to materialize.
According to 'The Messenger', if he doesn't fight for the belt soon, he wants to test himself against Max Holloway:
"If I don't get that title shot [at bantamweight], I would love that fight with Holloway. If I could skip Holloway win and then eventually fight Volk [Alexander Volkanovski] that will be a little more ideal for me. [But] that Max Holloway fight sounds good to me."
The 'King of Cringe' added:
"He's lost to a shorter fighter and I'm shorter than Volkanovski. And as you guys can see, his reach doesn't mean anything if you understand distance."
