Max Holloway and Yair Rodriguez were immediately transported to the hospital for precautionary reasons after a classic battle in the UFC Fight Night 197 main event.
Before they got checked out by the doctors, though, Holloway (23-6 MMA, 19-6 UFC) and Rodriguez (13-3 MMA, 8-2 UFC) took a moment in the ambulance to show the respect they had for each other after five memorable rounds of action at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
Holloway came out the winner of the fight by unanimous decision, but Rodriguez put forth a much better effort than the bettings odds gave him when he came in as a large underdog.
