Dustin Porier gave his prediction for Gaethje and Holloway fight.

Dustin Porier gave his prediction for the Gaethje and Holloway fight.

UFC No. 3-ranked lightweight Dustin Porier, who has twice faced both Justin Gaethje and Max Holloway, shared his thoughts on the bout between their former rivals, which will take place April 13 at UFC 300 in Las Vegas.

“I think I’d put my money on Max,” “Diamond” said on another edition of The MMA Hour show. “I see a lot of people saying Justin will have the size advantage, but Max is a big guy. He and Gaethje are about the same weight.”

“I think timing, distance work and stamina will ensure Max’s win. It’s a coin flip, but if I had to bet, I’d put my money on Max.”

At stake in the bout between Holloway and Gaethje will be the so-called BMF title held by “Highlight.”

Dustin Porier, who lost by KO to Justin Gaethje in his previous bout, will fight next March 9 at UFC 299 in Miami, and the American will face Frenchman Benoit Saint-Denis.
