Justin Gaethje promises ‘Violent’ fight with Max Holloway at UFC 300: ‘The doctors will need to stop it’

Ahead of his massive symbolic BMF championship fight with Max Holloway next weekend at UFC 300, former interim lightweight champion, Justin Gaethje has promised a “violent” fight with the Hawaiian, predicting a doctor’s stoppage finish.

Gaethje, the current number two ranked lightweight contender and former interim titleholder, has been sidelined since he turned in an hellacious second round high-kick KO win over common-foe, Dustin Poirier back in July at UFC 291, landing the symbolic BMF crown.

And as for Holloway, the former dominant featherweight gold holder turned in his second straight win at UFC Singapore last summer, stopping Chan Sung Jung with a brutal walk-off knockout win, which followed a decision success against Arnold Allen.
