“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.
