Alexandre Pereira It is Jamahal Hill are technically the UFC 300 headliners… but they are NOT the “People’s Main Event!”
No, that title belongs to Max Holloway It is Justin Gaethjeaccording to “Blessed” himself, who says that fight fans can expect VIOLENCE!!
TMZ Sports caught up with the 32-year-old… where the former featherweight champion previewed the long-awaited fight.
“It’s going to be huge,” Holloway told us. “Like I said, the only word that comes to mind when I think about this fight is ‘violence’.”
FYI, Max is the #2 ranked fighter at 145 pounds, but Gaethje’s competition will be contested at 155 pounds. The light belt is not in play, but there is a strap at your disposal… the BMF belt!
Of course, MH and JG are only the third pair of fighters to fight for the coveted belt… joining Nate Diaz It is Jorge Masvidal …and Gaethje and Dustin Poirier.
Holloway and Gaethje are on a two-fight winning streak in the Octagon… and they’re both hoping to extend their streak to three.
Holloway thinks the fight could be historic… as both their styles and durability can result in some of the biggest blows landed in a fight.
As for what’s next for Holloway… he makes it clear he’s not looking beyond Gaethje, but he does hint at what the future will look like for him.
“Gaethje’s name is ‘Highlight,’” he added. “If I don’t focus on him, that’s what I’ll be – I’ll be a standout for him. I really want to turn this into a Blessed highlight, so first up is Gaethje.”
Holloway thinks it will be the perfect fight for newcomers… because it’s bound to hook them.
“Tune in, sit back, relax, grab your popcorn and enjoy, because it’s going to be a great night of fights.”
