Makhachev: "Holloway beat Gaethje in all rounds"

"I was a little surprised at the way the Gatji and Holloway fight ended. I thought Justin would finish it, but the way Max performed.... He deserved all the hype, he beat Gaethje in all rounds," the New York Post quoted Makhachev as saying.

The bout between Max Holloway and Justin Gaethje took place on April 14 as part of the UFC 300 southpaw tournament. Max, who moved up to lightweight, knocked out Justin at the last second of the final round, winning the BMF belt.
