Gatji: "The Holloway bout will be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame"

Former interim UFC lightweight champion Justin Gaethje expressed confidence that his fight with former lower division titleholder Max Holloway will be inducted into the promotion's Hall of Fame.

On April 13 at UFC 300, Holloway knocked out Gaethje in the final seconds of a five-round bout.

"This fight will go into the UFC Hall of Fame and will be one of the best fights of the year. We were both dropping each other, but he sent me to sleep. So he won, but he was knocked out too, falling to the floor after a punch.

Broken nose? I'm not sure how much it affected my performance. As the fight goes on, you have no choice but to accept the injury. The body goes into "hit or run" mode and I always choose to fight. Mentally I get away from the sensations, it only hurts between rounds. But the other thing that's important here is that the punch to the nose gave Max confidence. He already had a perfect fight, so it was almost impossible for me to regain the advantage," - quotes Justin MMAKnockout.
