Former interim lightweight champion, Justin Gaethje is slated for his return to the Octagon at UFC 300 in pursuit of his first defense of the symbolic BMF title, taking on former featherweight gold holder, Max Holloway in April – in a much-anticipated pairing.
Gaethje, the current number two ranked lightweight contender, most recently headlined UFC 291 back in July in Salt Lake City, Utah – landing a hellacious second round KO win over common-foe, Dustin Poirier in the pair’s rematch, courtesy of a brutal high-kick stoppage.
As for Holloway, the former undisputed featherweight champion and record-setting striker, is in the midst of an impressive two-fight winning run – most recently stopping Chan Sung Jung with a brutal third round KO win of his own in the main event of UFC Singapore back in August.
