Max Holloway's open-hand slap of Jose Aldo featured in UFC 212's 'Thrill and Agony'

Did you see that open-hand slap in this past Saturday’s UFC 212 main event? The cameras caught it for the latest installment of “Thrill and Agony.”

The UFC’s “Thrill and Agony” videos take us up close and behind the scenes of pay-per-view events, and at UFC 212 on June 3, it was all about the headliner.

In a featherweight title-unification bout, interim champion Max Holloway (18-3 MMA, 14-3 UFC) dethroned Jose Aldo (26-3 MMA, 8-2 UFC) with a third-round TKO in the featured pay-per-view bout in Rio de Janeiro.

Holloway overcame an early deficit before his sustained ground-and-pound assault forced the stoppage. But earlier in the fight, Holloway appeared to land an open-hand slap on the Brazilian hero.

In “Thrill and Agony,” Holloway discusses that specific moment – and how he trolled referee “Big” John McCarthy a bit to do it.

Check it out above. “Thrill and Agony” also captures the emotional aftermath of the big title fight, including cageside reactions and backstage celebrations.

The video is a preview of “Thrill and Agony,” which is available in its entirety on UFC Fight Pass.
