One of the most anticipated fights on the UFC 300 lineup is the BMF title fight between Justin Gaethje and Max Holloway . However, not everyone is excited about it. Count UFC Hall of Famer Khabib Nurmagomedov among those who are not fans of this matchup. “All respect for Max Holloway, but I don’t know, and I don’t understand why UFC make this fight,” Nurmagomedov told MMA Junkie recently . Nurmagomedov would rather see Holloway face featherweight champion Ilia Topuria and Gaethje matchup against Islam Makhachev in the coming months.
