LAS VEGAS – While much of the MMA community speculates and focuses on the future and road maps toward big fights and UFC gold, Justin Gaethje is solely focused on the present. The current task is a monumental one, as Gaethje (25-4 MMA, 8-4 UFC ) fights Max Holloway (25-7 MMA, 21-7 UFC ) in a BMF title fight Saturday at UFC 300 at T-Mobile Arena. “I know with a win here, I fight for the (lightweight) belt,” Gaethje told MMA Junkie and other reporters. “I know with a loss here, that all goes away. That’s what I’m fighting for.” The stakes of a “BMF” title fight are anyone’s guess. This will be the third in the promotion’s history and the first time the title isn’t vacant going into the fight.
