Khabib: "The Gaethje and Holloway fight doesn't make sense"

Dmitriy Kel March 1, 2024, 4:41 p.m.

Former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov criticized the matchmaking of the promotion.

The famous veteran said that he does not understand the meaning of organizing the fight between Justin Gaethje and Max Holloway, which will take place on April 13 at UFC 300 in Las Vegas.

"With all due respect to Max Holloway, I don't know or understand why the UFC decided to make this fight. Justin Gaethje vs. Max Holloway - that fight doesn't make sense to me. Holloway was supposed to fight Elijah Topuria next, probably in September. Justin Gaethje was supposed to fight Islam Makhachev in May or June. And the winner of the Tsarukyan - Oliveira fight was supposed to face the winner of the fight between Islam and Justin," MMA Junkie quoted Nurmagomedov as saying.
