Max Holloway doesn't care where his bout with Justin Gaethje ends up on UFC 300 card: "A fight is a fight"

Fernando Quiles - February 15, 2024

Max Holloway is not concerned with where his UFC 300 fight with Justin Gaethje ends up on the card. Holloway is set to challenge Gaethje for the BMF Championship on April 13. While Holloway was outgunned by Dustin Poirier in a bid for interim UFC lightweight gold back in 2019, he feels things will be different against “The Highlight” during the UFC’s most important event in 2024. With that said, UFC 300 figures to be a stacked card.
