Justin Gaethje’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz has suggested a BMF championship fight between his client and former undisputed featherweight champion, Max Holloway for UFC 298 in February of next year – floating the eye-catching pairing to fans.
Gaethje, a former interim lightweight champion, minted himself as the second symbolic BMF titleholder under the banner of the promotion back in July in Salt Lake City, landing a second round high-kick KO win over fellow former interim champion, Dustin Poirier in the pair’s rematch at UFC 291.
As for Holloway, the former featherweight champion most recently turned in a spectacular third round knockout win of his own over the retiring, Chan Sung Jung at UFC Singapore back in August, following a prior unanimous decision win over featherweight contender, Arnold Allen.
