Justin Gaethje vs Max Holloway Prediction: There's gonna be blood and there's gonna be a knockout

Prediction for the UFC 300 Justin Gaethje vs Max Holloway match which will take place on April 14th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Justin Gaethje

Justin Gaethje is a wrestler, as wild as that may sound. In MMA, when he wins, he usually wins by knockout and ignores wrestling altogether unless the opponent forces it on him (but that rarely happens). Justin is characterized by very cool boxing with the terrible power of low kicks, and his punches are shocking. Gaethje has changed his tactics - now, he is not a reckless fighter for exchanges. Still, he is an intelligent warrior who does not take unnecessary risks, and thanks to this, he has become even more dangerous.

Every fight in the UFC has gotten a bonus for spectacle, and it will probably be the same this time. Justin has fought for the belt three times - twice he lost (Khabib Nurmagomedov and Charles Oliveira choked him out), but once he won - in 2020, he beat Tony Ferguson to become interim champion (beating Tony Ferguson wasn't mainstream back then).

Justin Gagey had his last fight last July, knocking out Dustin Poirier with a leg kick and taking the newfangled BMF belt.

The fight with Max Holloway attracts a lot of attention and no shortage of predictions. However, most experts are leaning towards Gaethje having the better argument to win.

Max Holloway

Max Holloway is one of the most popular fighters of the modern period but has been underappreciated. His stunning fighting style, unbeatable character, and behavior outside the octagon deserve respect.

In 2016, Holloway became the featherweight champion, and in 2019 began his famous trilogy with Alex Volkanovski. In all three fights, Max lost, but in different ways - the first one was won (the judges screwed up very hard), the second was very close (the victory could be given both here and there), and only in the third did Alex win without any questions.

Holloway also had an attempt to become a champion in the lightweight division, but in the same 2019, he could not cope with Dustin Poirier. In his last fight, Max knocked out Korean Zombie and took home the bonus for best fight of the night.

Expert Betting Tips

Max Holloway is stepping into dangerous territory by moving up to lightweight. Taking a fight in the heavier division against someone like Gaethje right out of the gate is respectable but highly reckless. Max has never been knocked down before, but he's never been hit as hard as Gaethje will be. Everything happens for the first time here, especially with the fight being standup.

Nevertheless, Holloway can defend and attack sharply for two or three rounds. His technical boxing is well suited to this. Everything will be decided in the championship rounds based on fatigue and loss of concentration in the moments (and there will be five rounds, so there will be a lot of moments).
