Justin Gaethje shares potential return timeline after UFC 300 KO loss against Max Holloway.
Sounds like Gaethje is going to take some time off from hard sparring and his usual physicality for awhile, that’s extremely good to hear. He has given us so many intense, entertaining, and violent battles on top of being a great guy that I am happy to hear he is trying to mitigate it as he can. Side note: Dude sounds like he needs a new nose after Max spinning back kicked him in it.
Islam Makhachev refuses lightweight title fight opportunity for Max Holloway despite iconic UFC 300 performance.
He has been given so much flak for fighting smaller opponents and not defending against a true lightweight, I can see why he is turning this one down. Tbh I would like to see Max do more before jumping the line.
Leon Edwards coach confirms 99% Belal Muhammad next, says he tried to 'Steal A Decision' by playing up eye poke.
Mostly just drama here. Leon is excited and confident as always.
Stephen Thompson agrees that Michael Page 'could possibly be a very boring fight.’
Basically due to them both being counter-strikers it can lead to a stand-off. Makes for boring fights.
Islam Makhachev's coach says most dangerous stylistic threat Justin Gaethje not in title picture anymore.
I’m not sure what Javier is talking about here. Khabib walked through Gaethje and he was never gonna be much of a threat to Islam. Currently the only one coming up is Arman who can handle the grappling imo. I’m excited to see that rematch.
Max Holloway's coach breaks down matchup against 'oversized bantamweight' Ilia Topuria.
I feel like Max’s coaches are overlooking Topuria here. Calling him an ‘oversized bantamweight’ is a bit of a stretch after what he did to Volkanovski.
Conor McGregor again backed to fight for 165lbs title against Michael Chandler at UFC 303.
A lot of talk to cover up the fact that they are creating a division that Dana himself would never happen so that Conor can have a title and they can make money. Yet, I still can’t wait to see it.
