Henry Cejudo wants Dana White to pull Max Holloway from his fight with Justin Gaethje at UFC 300: “You will not be the same”

Henry Cejudo wants Dana White to pull Max Holloway from his fight with Justin Gaethje at UFC 300.

The historic UFC 300 will take place on Saturday, April 13th at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada.

On the ticket is a lightweight bout between Max Holloway (25-7 MMA) and Justin Gaethje (25-4 MMA).

It was during a recent interview with MMA Junkie that “Triple C” issued a warning of the danger in fighting Justin Gaethje:

“Get Max Holloway out of the fight against Justin Gaethje. Give him that fight in Spain. You fight a like Justin Gaethje, Justin Gaethje is a dude that will hurt you, and you will not be the same. He’s done it to Tony Ferguson, he’s done it to a lot of people, like, it’s lights out when you fight a guy like Justin Gaethje.”

It’s true that Gaethje defeated Ferguson (25-10 MMA) by TKO back in May of 2020 at UFC 249. Following that loss, ‘El Cucuy’ has not had a win in the Octagon.

Continuing, Henry Cejudo said:

“I think sometimes, you probably got to save these fighters from themselves. If I’m in that position, if I’m Dana White, the UFC is like ‘Hey, go through Max Holloway’, go through, what is it? Movsar? Yeah, and I think he (Topuria) defends it a couple more times, I think, you know, he’s gonna have his hands full if he does decide to go up… where do we keep the sport to where it’s still competitive? To where it’s still pure? Rather than, you know, competitive but with an entertainment side.”

Henry Cejudo believes Max Holloway would be the perfect challenger to face Ilia Topuria (15-0 MMA), the new UFC featherweight champion, in Madrid.

The UFC has expressed interest in hosting an event in Spain, but there is no official timeframe to date.

Do you agree with Cejudo that Gaethje ‘will hurt’ Holloway at UFC 300 and he will never ‘be the same’?
