UFC 300 gets Justin Gaethje vs Max Holloway BMF title bout and more

UFC boss: Justin Gaethje and Max Holloway ’two of the all-time greats’

Justin Gaethje, a No. 2 ranked lightweight and former interim champ, won the then-vacant BMF belt back in July as he flattened Dustin Poirier with a second-round head kick knockout. ”The Highlight” currently has two straight victories and he’s won seven out of his last nine bouts, with the two losses in that span coming in title fights against Khabib Nurmagomedov and Charles Oliveira.

Max Holloway, the current No. 1 ranked contender and former UFC featherweight champ with three title defenses, has also won two fights in a row. After losing to reigning champ Alexander Volkanovski for the third time, he moved on to defeat Arnold Allen by decision before knocking out UFC icon Chan Sung Jung, better known as ”The Korean Zombie”, in Jung’s retirement fight at back in August.

”Gaethje destroys all guys with leg kicks and power in both hands. Max is regarded by many to be the best boxer in the UFC and has made many top 10 guys look like they don’t even belong there with him. Two of the all-time greats in their divisions, and this fight will be five rounds for the BMF title,” Dana White said as he announced the fight for UFC 300.
