Justin Gaethje and Max Holloway may not be the main event of UFC 300 but are undeniably competing in the most intriguing matchup of the fight card. As two of the most entertaining fighters on the UFC roster, Gaethje will be defending his BMF title against Holloway as a de facto lightweight title eliminator.
Gaethje (25-4, 8-4 in UFC) last beat Dustin Poirier to win the BMF title at UFC 291. Gaethje enters the fight on a two-fight win streak, previously taking a majority decision over Rafael Fiziev after losing to Charles Oliveira at UFC 274.
