“I think I’d put money on Max,” “Diamond” said on another edition of The MMA Hour program. “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 believe timing, distance work and resilience will ensure Max wins. It’s a coin flip, but if I had to bet, I’d bet 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 knockout to Justin Gaethje in his previous match, will fight next on March 9 at UFC 299 in Miami, and the American will face Frenchman Benoit Saint-Denis.
