Gaethje plans to become the first fighter to knock out Holloway

Justin Gaethje, the former interim UFC lightweight champion, spoke about the upcoming fight with Max Holloway.In particular, Justin said that he plans to become the first fighter to beat Max ahead of schedule.

“I got 20 victories out of 25 total by knockout. I am proud of this. Yes, I'm aiming for knockouts. This has already happened with Tony Ferguson. No one could finish it. Yes, I wasn’t able to knock him out cleanly, but I did so much damage that the referee rightfully stopped the fight. This will be a war of attrition. This fight will be tough,” Gaethje said.

The confrontation between Gaethje and Holloway will take place on the night of April 14 in Las Vegas as part of the UFC's 300th anniversary tournament. It should also be noted that the fight will take place at the lightweight limit.
