UFC 300 is set to feature an exciting lineup of fights, with the BMF title on the line as Justin Gaethje takes on Max Holloway. Gaethje earned the BMF belt by knocking out Dustin Poirier in their UFC 291 matchup. This fight will be a test for Holloway as he moves up to the lightweight division for the bout. Following this fight, Zhang Weili will defend her UFC women’s strawweight belt against Yan Xiaonan, and Alex Pereira will make the first defense of his UFC light heavyweight title against Jamahal Hill in the main event.
The event is scheduled to take place on April 13 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, with the main card streaming on ESPN+ pay-per-view. Gaethje’s career has been marked by his exciting fighting style and numerous fight-night bonuses earned in his UFC outings. He has achieved success in the lightweight division, winning the interim title in 2020. Despite some setbacks, Gaethje is on a two-fight winning streak and will be looking to continue his momentum in the BMF title fight against Holloway.
Holloway, a former UFC featherweight champion, has had an impressive career, defending his crown three times before moving up to face Poirier at lightweight. He is known for his active striking style and has never been knocked down in his UFC career. With a two-fight winning streak heading into UFC 300, Holloway will be looking to secure a victory against Gaethje and add another accolade to his career.
In terms of betting odds, Gaethje is the favorite going into the fight against Holloway. He has showcased impressive stats in significant strikes landed per minute and striking accuracy, making him a formidable opponent. However, Holloway’s record in the UFC, including most significant strikes landed and most wins in featherweight history, shows that he is a skilled and experienced fighter who will provide a tough challenge for Gaethje in their BMF title bout.
As the anticipation builds for UFC 300, fans can expect an action-packed event with a stacked fight card featuring top fighters in the sport. With matchups like Charles Oliveira vs. Arman Tsarukyan, and Jiri Prochazka vs. Aleksandar Rakic, the event promises to deliver thrilling fights and unforgettable moments.
