Former UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway is the best representative of this category in the history of the promotion. This opinion was expressed by the general director of the organization Dana White.
On the night of April 14 at UFC 300 in Las Vegas, NV, Holloway will make a foray into the lightweight division to fight Justin Gaethje for the symbolic BMF title.
"Max is always a big favorite with the fans. Probably the greatest welterweight of all time will face Gatji, who is one of the most exciting fighters in history.
The BMF title idea was born for a reason - there are always fights that get fans excited, whether it's Masvidal vs Diaz or Gaethje vs Holloway. Who better suited for a BMF title fight than Justin Gaethje and Max Holloway? I proposed it, everyone liked the idea, including the fans, and here we are," MMA Mania quoted the functionary as saying.
