"Brain Explosion" Holloway is surprised that Makhachev's opponent will not be Gaethje

Max Holloway, the former UFC featherweight champion, responded to the promotion's plans to bring down the lightweight champion Islam Makhacheva with the winner of the pair Tsarukyan - Oliveira. According to Max, he thought Islam's next opponent would be Justin Gaethje.

ā€œI was very surprised because I thought the UFC had decided to do a title fight between Makhachev and Gaethje. ButĀ they changed their minds. In the end, they made the fight between Oliveira and Tsarukyan a contender - it was a brain blast, of course. Let's see what will happen next. But Iā€™m glad Iā€™m going to fight the real bastard Gaethje for the BMF belt,ā€ Holloway said.

Let us remind you that the Holloway-Gaethje fight will take place at the 300th anniversary UFC tournament.
