Recently, the number one featherweight contender Max Holloway called out Justin Gaethje. This was in light of Dana White notifying that Charles Olivera could be next to compete for the lightweight title. So, Gaethje in response said that he’ll wait for his turn (Per ESPN). As such, Holloway called out Gaethje to put on a show for the fans instead of waiting for the lightweight title shot.
No one expected Holloway to call out Gaethje as they belong to different weight classes. But Max Holloway wants the BMF title and is willing to go up a weight class for it. The ESPN reporter Marc Raimondi tweeted that Gaethje is willing to wait for a crack at Islam Makhachev. To which Holloway replied in the following manner:
“If you change you mind bratha, how about one for the fans? #BMF @Justin_Gaethje”

Justin Gaethje won the BMF title at UFC 291 by knocking out Dustin Poirer in the second round. On the other hand, Max Holloway is coming off a spectacular win over The Korean Zombie. They both have won their previous two fights and are coming off a knockout win. This would set up an entertaining fight for the fans if it comes to fruition.
Max Holloway was a former featherweight champion and lost his belt to the current champion Alexander Volkanovksi. He fought Volkanovski two more times but couldn’t secure a win, making it 0-3 against the featherweight champion.
His callout to Gaethje was a bold move and the fans would love to see the fight go down. But it is up to Gaethje to decide whether he will wait for his title shot against Makhachev or take on Holloway and put on a show for the fans.
