It’s the perfect matchup for both since the two of them combined are 0-5 in their last five title shots, and it’s pretty clear neither of them are beating the champion of their division.So this fight is rumored for UFC 300 by uncle "I never lie" Chael. First of all I kinda predicted it would happen because I listed in in my "UFC 300 card" thread
And I also think that it's a really sick fight
I just don't see the point for Max. At all. For Gaethje yes it's great he gets a win against a FW legend and will set up a title fight thanks to it.
But for Max? He doesn't have the style nor the physicality to deal with Gaethje.
I can count on one hand the times where Holloway grappled offensively, which is Gaethje's kryptonite.
Max is not going to put Gaethje out, JG can take a shot, not a shot he can take plenty of them. The last time he was overwhelmed standing up was against Poirier in their first fight, which was when ? 2018 I think ? So 5 years ago, will be 6 years ago by UFC 300 time.
Max should chill and see if Topuria beats Volk. And if yes position himself for a FW TS.
Change my mind.
The alternative would be Justin vs Makhachev, which would be another squash match where Justin taps inside two rounds (basically Justin vs Khabib rematch), and in Max case, it’s even worse, seriously does anyone in their right mind want Max va Volk 4?
