Justin Gaethje boldly predicts how his fight with Max Holloway will go.
'The Highlight' may just be the most violent fighter on the UFC roster, and the lightweight veteran adds to the discussion with numerous 'Fight of the Night' honors and vicious knockouts continuing.
Gaethje earned the title “BMF”, also known as “Baddest Motherf*****”, by knocking out Dustin Poirier, and will look to defend the same belt against featherweight opponent Holloway at UFC 300.

Former champions are a force to be reckoned with, but Gaethje says, “No one steals the show like the highlights.”
“Carnage, chaos, maybe blood and adrenaline flowing through my veins, that's what you get from me. My ability to create damage is second to none,” the BMF champion said in a new promo for UFC 300 ( via) BJPenn.com).
Despite a botched weigh-in a few years ago when Gaethje left Holloway's towel lifted over the scale, exposing his “precious jewels,” both BMF fighters continued to keep each other company. I rate it highly.

Nevertheless, the ultra-violent Gaethje plans to do everything possible to get Holloway far away and will spend the rest of the day in his office.
This will certainly be a difficult task as the durable Holloway has never been knocked down in any of his UFC 28 fights, but Gaethje believes an outside force will eventually intervene in the expected blows. ing.
“Max Holloway is a legend and probably the only guy on the UFC roster that checks all the boxes of being a BMF, so I have a lot of respect for him,” Gaethje continued. “But this is my job and I'm going to screw him.
“I'm going to end Max. He may not be cured by conventional means, but I think he'll do damage where doctors need to stop him. We're trying to paint a violent picture. But there's no one better to go out there and put on a show.”
If Gaethje's prediction is true, it would be reminiscent of the first BMF title fight between Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz, but Diaz lost due to a cut above his right eye. The match was ruled a TKO for Masvidal due to a doctor's stoppage, and Masvidal was crowned BMF Champion.
In the opposite corner, Max Holloway looks to prove himself in his second lightweight appearance, his first being a decision loss to Dustin Poirier in 2019. Exactly five years later, Holloway's chance for redemption has finally arrived. Added rare BMF titles.
“I’m excited to share the Octagon with a future Hall of Famer like Justin Gaethje,” Holloway said. MMA Junkie. “Let's all take a look, dude. You'll all see the difference. [from the Poirier fight]. There's no need to talk anymore. And she's only 2 weeks old. I can't wait to show it to you. ”
