Justin Gaethje and Max Holloway feature in the historic UFC 300 fight card in April. Soon after the UFC announced their fight, fans recalled a past incident between them. It was when Gaethje held a towel for Holloway during UFC 218 weight-ins. While doing so, ‘Highlight’ nearly exposed Holloway to the whole world. Now, the two men looked back on the incident and shared their views.

During the UFC 300 Q&A session in California, Max Holloway pre-sensed a question aimed at the ‘towel-gate’ incident and cursed ‘Motherf*****g towel.’ But he went on to explain what happened during the weigh-ins. Then, Justin Gaethje joined him to detail the instance. Here is what he said:

He would've atleast taken another 60 seconds to get off, get dressed, get undressed. Nope, not in that condition. If that's me, I'm doing for them what I want done for me, and that's to me give liquids ASAP... I was so fast! If you saw what you saw, then that's on you. You're all a nasty motherf****r. Because you had to pause it, we're talking split second here. So, don't do that.

The incident happened at the UFC 218 weigh-ins when Max Holloway and Justin Gaethje crossed paths. After not hitting the featherweight limit, Holloway was required to remove his shorts to make weight. So, ‘The Highlight’ volunteered to hold the towel to protect Holloway’s modesty. However, he held the towel infront of the scales, making it unable to read the measurement. Assessing the situation, Gaethje made the call to lift the towel and place it behind the scales. As such, he exposed Holloway for a split-second.
