In the buildup to the highly anticipated UFC 300 on April 13, Max Holloway has laid the groundwork for a blockbuster fight against Justin Gaethje. He provided a unique viewpoint on the condition of trash-talking and self-promotion in mixed martial arts. Holloway refers to himself and Gaethje as the “last of a dying breed.” He emphasized their determination to let their fighting abilities speak louder than words.

During a recent interview with MMA Fighting, Max Holloway reflected on the changing landscape of pre-fight promotion in MMA. Holloway discussed his recent fight against The Korean Zombie and his upcoming fight with Gaethje. This is what he said: 

I’ve been saying it coming all the way up to ‘The Korean Zombie,’ fighting guys like Korean, fighting guy like even Justin [Gaethje], we’re the last of a dying breed, last of a dying breed. You don’t need this sh*t talking, the way people are going, the way people are handling themselves on social media or in the media period. You don’t need none of that. Let your fighting talk for yourself.

In a recent interview with Kevin Iole, Gaethje revealed his part in the makings of this fight. He confessed that the notion of fighting Holloway for the BMF championship emerged after a conversation about prospective opponents for the belt. In the past, Gaethje suggested Holloway as a contender for the belt, unknowingly setting the stage for the bout. The Towelgate incident further became the reason why the superfight happened.

Justin Gaethje’s revelation adds a fascinating element to the buildup to UFC 300. The matchup, which sprang from a casual chat, now stands as a testimony to the UFC’s unpredictable and dynamic nature. It promises to be an exhilarating showdown between two fighters noted for their ferocity and entertainment value.
