Justin Gaethje is able to break the unbreakable Max Holloway.
On Saturday, April 13, ‘The Spotlight’ will put his BMF title on the road towards the previous featherweight world champion in one of the thrilling fights introduced for UFC 300. Holloway goes into the bout having gone toe-to-toe with a number of the largest names within the recreation, together with Dustin Poirier, Conor McGregor, Charles Oliveira, Jose Aldo, and Alexander Volkanovski on three separate events.
And never as soon as in his 12 years competing contained in the Octagon has ‘Blessed’ ever been knocked out. That’s a streak Justin Gaethje has each intention of breaking when the 2 meet at what’s shaping as much as be the most important occasion in UFC historical past.
“I’ve 25 wins and 20 knockouts, I’m fairly happy with that,” Gaethje instructed ESPN. “That’s one factor I attempted to maintain all through my profession, purposefully. So yeah, that’s one thing that I’m taking pictures for. Identical factor with Tony Ferguson. No person had ever completed him. I didn’t knock him out in a standard approach, however I definitely created sufficient harm for that battle to be rightfully stopped.
“I’d quite not get there [at UFC 300], I promise you that. This might be a warfare, a battle of attrition. If I can’t discover him, then I can’t harm him. He by no means stops. He’s consistently creating angles and consistently creating stress and it might be a troublesome battle” (h/t MMA Mania).
Gaethje’s shellacking of ‘El Cucuy’ at UFC 249 has had a long-lasting impact on Tony Ferguson. The previous interim light-weight titleholder has not received a single battle since, amassing a near-record-breaking seven-fight dropping streak.
Holloway will probably be shifting as much as light-weight for his BMF conflict with Gaethje for the primary time since struggling a call defeat towards Dustin Poirier at UFC 236 in 2019. ‘Blessed’ scored a third-round KO towards The Korean Zombie in his final outing this previous August.
