Justin Gaethje is gearing up for a showdown against Max Holloway at UFC 300, where Holloway is moving up to lightweight to challenge Gaethje for the BMF title. Gaethje, known for his knockout power, anticipates a tough fight against Holloway, who has never been dropped or knocked out in his MMA career.
In a UFC 300 promo video, Gaethje expressed his respect for Holloway as a legend and acknowledged him as the epitome of a BMF. Despite this, Gaethje is focused on his job and aims to "f**k him up."
He believes he won't be able to knock Holloway out like he did to Dustin Poirier in his last fight but instead expects to inflict enough damage to force a doctor stoppage, saving Holloway from further harm.
“No one steals the show quite like the highlight. Carnage, chaos, probably some blood and adrenaline coursing through the veins, that is what you are going to get from me. My ability to create damage is second to none,” Justin Gaethje said on a UFC 300 promo video.
“Max Holloway is a legend, probably the only person on the UFC roster that checks every single box of being a BMF so I have a lot of respect for him. However, this is my job and I’m going to try and f**k him up. I will finish Max, he may not go away the traditional way, but I think I will inflict damage to where the doctors need to stop it. We are about to paint a violent picture and no two better guys to go out there and put on a show.”
Despite his confidence, Gaethje respects Holloway's durability, believing he will be a tough opponent to put away. A TKO win by doctor stoppage at UFC 300 could solidify Gaethje's position as the next title contender in the lightweight division.
