Former UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway said he appreciates the opportunity to fight symbolic BMF ("Baddest Bastard") titleholder Justin Gaethje.
The lightweight fight will take place on April 13 at the UFC 300 anniversary event in Las Vegas, USA.
"A belt is a belt, it's still cool. What a title brings can be life-changing. We'll see what happens next. But I'm more excited about the fact that there's an opportunity to step into the octagon with Justin Gaethje. That's awesome.
It's cool to step into the cage with a future Hall of Fame member. Title or regular fight, but the chance to fight him is something to look forward to," MMA Junkie quoted Holloway as saying.
