You could say that this contest is all about pride and improving records for both Justin<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gaethje and Max Holloway, but technically there is a \u201ctitle\u201d up for grabs. The<\/p>\n\n\n\n
BMF(Baddest Motherf**ker) title will be on the line and while it\u2019s not an official UFC<\/p>\n\n\n\n
championship and is purely symbolic, it still has meaning. Introduced at UFC 244, the<\/p>\n\n\n\n
BMF belt is known as one to elevate fan-favorites due to their toughness and propensity<\/p>\n\n\n\n
for putting on some of the best bouts on the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Its inaugural champion, Jorge Masvidal, never actually defended it and it was only<\/p>\n\n\n\n
brought back after he retired. It was at UFC 291 against Dustin Poirier where Gaethje<\/p>\n\n\n\n
emerged victorious and earned the BMF title. While The Rock presented the title to the<\/p>\n\n\n\n
inaugural champion in Masvidal, both fighters hope that it will be UFC Hall of Famer<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mark Coleman who will present the victor the belt this time. Holloway initiated the idea<\/p>\n\n\n\n
of having Coleman as the presenter because he\u2019s a \u201creal life BMF” after rescuing his<\/p>\n\n\n\n
parents from what was a near-fatal house fire back in March. While many are hopeful<\/p>\n\n\n\n
that it will be Coleman to present the winner with the BMF belt, one thing you can count<\/p>\n\n\n\n
on is that both fighters plan to paint a violent picture at UFC 300.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Justin Gaethje (-200)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The 35 year-old is looking to become the first person to successfully defend the BMF<\/p>\n\n\n\n title in UFC history. It\u2019s a title that Gaethje earned thanks to a brutal head-kick knockout<\/p>\n\n\n\n against Poirier last July and it\u2019s a title that he takes great pride in. He enters the<\/p>\n\n\n\n octagon on a two-fight win streak with just four of his twenty-nine pro fights going the<\/p>\n\n\n\n distance in his lengthy career. Known as \u201cThe Highlight\u201d, Gaethje is known as a heavy<\/p>\n\n\n\n hitter, finishing six fights via knockout and won\u2019t shy away from going that route once<\/p>\n\n\n\n again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Max Holloway (+170)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Known as one of the most exciting fighters in UFC history, the 32-year-old is feeding off<\/p>\n\n\n\n the doubters who believe he\u2019s making a mistake in going up a division once again. In<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2019, the last time Holloway competed as a Lightweight, he saw a 13-fight win streak<\/p>\n\n\n\n broken at the hands of Poirier. Regardless of what others say, Holloway wants the title<\/p>\n\n\n\n of BMF and is willing to go up to 155 pounds to do it. He\u2019s riding a two-fight win streak<\/p>\n\n\n\n which includes his most recent fight where he knocked out and retired the Korean<\/p>\n\n\n\n Zombie last August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n For the latest UFC 300 odds, visit BetOnline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You could say that this contest is all about pride and improving records for both Justin Gaethje and Max Holloway,…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":24858,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[138],"tags":[195,194],"class_list":["post-24856","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mma","tag-mma","tag-ufc"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
