In a recent interview on FULL SEND GOLF, Justin Gaethje expressed his desire for a rematch with Max Holloway, following their epic showdown at UFC 300. The fight, which many considered the unofficial main event of the evening, saw Holloway return to lightweight after five years and deliver a stunning performance that ended in a last-second knockout victory.
Despite the loss, Gaethje, who is currently taking a break to recover from the intense battle, revealed that a second bout with Holloway would be his dream fight. Reflecting on his previous fights with top contenders like Donald Cerrone, Edson Barboza, and Dustin Poirier, Gaethje admitted that he would love to have another shot at Holloway, especially since their last encounter ended in defeat for him.
While Holloway has the option to return to lightweight to defend his BMF title or pursue undisputed gold, Gaethje remains focused on the possibility of a rematch. With Poirier set to challenge for the 155-pound title at UFC 302 in June, Gaethje is eager to secure another shot at redemption, much like he did in his rematch with Poirier at UFC 291.
In his 30-fight career, Gaethje has proven his ability to bounce back from losses and secure impressive victories. With his sights set on a rematch with Holloway, Gaethje is determined to make the most of his opportunity and prove himself once again in the octagon. Fans can only hope that these two warriors will meet again for another unforgettable showdown in the future.
