In the wake of links to a symbolic BMF championship fight with former featherweight champion, Max Holloway at a blockbuster UFC 300 card in April of next year, former interim lightweight titleholder, Justin Gaethje has been backed to potentially become the first to finish the Hawaiian with strikers, according to ex-two-weight champion, Henry Cejudo.
Gaethje, the newly minted symbolic BMF champion, managed to mint himself as the titleholder back in July at UFC 291 in Salt Lake City, landing a brutal second round high-kick knockout win over two-time foe, Dustin Poirier in a rematch.
