Max Holloway vs. Justin Gaethje for BMF Title? Cejudo Breaks Down Epic Showdown

[@quasarleon4645]

One of those fights where you want BOTH fighters to win somehow :)

[@P0wd3r3dT0astMan]

Fully agree

[@dingus420.69]

Double knockout

[@Peakmastery26]

Yessir👍

Facts

[@MrRobjs83]

Nope! I want Max to win and Justin to lose but Max has his hands full with this one and I'm not sure I see that happening

[@Saygoodnightfight]

I want Max to win but I really don’t want to see him test his chin with Gaethje Bombs

[@nolanweber8712]

Here after the fight got announced to rewatch the breakdown. Everyone knew this fight would take place a month or two before it was announced.

[@mmelo2334]

This might be the first time Max gets KO'd/TKO'd. He has taken a lot of hits already and Justin is one of the hardest hitters. Ferguson vs Gaethje 2 basically.

[@Fitkid7672]

I feel u but max has recently evolved his game where he isn’t just volume fighting. He showed it in the Arnold fight. He is more calculated now which makes him more dangerous. Plus he is more skilled than Tony.

[@MrRobjs83]

I could see Justin winning via leg kick tko actually

[@N-B-MMA]

​@@MrRobjs83i think justins only path to victory is kick the legs all he can. Justin never had the best boxing/footwork/headmovement/combos he's been more calculated lately but also hasn't been looking all that fast. He set up the porier headkick well but other than that he's 50/50 the past few years and even talked about retirement and this being his last run at the title so its really hard to think he just shows up and shows out. Also I think max would have a better chance at beating islam than justin. Justins bjj defense is non existent and we know max can keep fights standing and defend on the ground

[@cineris2389]

Worst part here is, while Gaethje is older, Max is older in fight years. Dude doesn't need that kind of damage at this point.

[@DEXTER-ck2bf]

I think it’s more about the challenge..& if u ah bo$$ in anything u do weather it’s fighting/business..challenges only make u better..the ppl th@ dnt take challenges probably get told wat to do..🤠

[@jmz2144]

Gaethje has taken tons of damage in his career

[@MrRobjs83]

Gaethje has taken a lot of damage too actually! He's not as good a pure boxer as Max and gets hit a lot just like Tony and Nate Diaz

[@galacticmaui2]

So Max had taken a lot of damage, Justin as also taken a lot of damage while being older

[@alcesspectre]

I think Gaethje's real weakness is knees to the head. He gives a lot of opportunities for them and it's bound to catch up to him.

[@Fitkid7672]

That ain’t really max game but he might do it.

[@alcesspectre]

@@Fitkid7672 Yeah I don't think so either but it might allow Max to finish him if he's onto it. He always ducks his head down when the exchange gets wild and takes his eyes off his opponent.

[@joeyduncan5804]

Yes the way he ducks make me wonder why nobody has really utilized that. I think he ducks off at an angle witch is harder for the knees and uppercut. But definitely be the most effective tool against him if you timed it right. Problem is he's spending good a chopping your base down you are constantly moving and trying not to have a leg planted he can kick. He has the dense bones in all of ufc justin gatche and I think that density with the technique and timing is what makes him so hard a puncher and kicker with a 80 percent ko rate. Its wild

[@Fitkid7672]

@@joeyduncan5804yeah only the top guys like Charles & islam can beat him because of their style.

[@joeyduncan5804]

@shaquilewalker7672 he gives them a run for there money for sure. He will beat them if he fights them again. Just like he did porier. He will adjust and make them pay.

[@BirdhouseMMA]

Holloway fought Dustin on short notice. Now he gets 3 months to prepare? I’m not saying Max will win, but Max is going to bring the 🔥

[@regularbob]

Turn your phone off during taping!

[@DavidToutai]

Boy were you wrong lol

[@ahamilton1189]

Max landed damn near 3k strikes, wtf

[@HockeyxLlama]

Nice catch

[@IsenathiDyantyi]

King Triple C 👑🇺🇲 I agree that fight will happen & I do believe Justin Gaethje will get the job done but by decision in My opinion 🇺🇲👊

[@creasedhorizon8931]

Please don't do that to Max. Please this could affect his career like Tony please don't do that

[@ozylocz4078]

Yea, I really don’t want to see max take a beating for 5 rounds

[@sairax132]

Do not underestimate Max man, he was great champion for a reason, I also thing Justin is more powerfull, but I think Max is better fighter. Don' be suprised mf when he beat the shit out of Justin and destroy him like he did with Ortega and Rodriguez....

[@creasedhorizon8931]

@@sairax132 Max was a great champion...at Featherweight. There is a very good reason Max doesn't fight at Lightweight though, that division is too big for him. Gaetje hurts other lightweights bad, he will destroy a Featherweight. I know Max is very skilled, but he doesn't have the power to match Justin. Max already takes too much damage in his Featherweight fights, if he goes against Justin it could send his career on a decline and get him KOed. Lightweight power is simply different than Featherweight and Justin is a true lightweight. Not to mention he has a lot of power even compared to most lightweights. Don't forget he took prime interim champ Tony and wrecked him for the remainder of his career, and Tony was a lightweight that could even fight at Welterweight, not a smaller Featherweight. Ortega and Rodriguez were featherweights that's the difference.

[@sairax132]

@@creasedhorizon8931 I understand you point, I think you are right. Max have big balls for calling Justin ...

[@creasedhorizon8931]

@@sairax132 That's true he is very courageous, I just don't want to watch Max have a downfall like Tony (no disrespect intended to Tony his fights have just been hard to watch since he fought Justin)

[@BreedersSyndicate]

Man… I love watching both of these dudes so much. I hope neither gets hurt too bad, because both are capable of doing serious long term damage. But goddamn imma watch!

[@erikstrough9454]

How do you have izzy above alex on leg kicking, he took out izzys legs, jans and jiris. He is the best at them.

[@rotary_mullet319]

@@rudi5139also?

[@patricknez7258]

I'm a huge fan of both guys. I honestly don't like matchup for Max but just imo.

[@FitzChivalry_Chade]

Gaethje wrestling?! Yeah right. Since his first two fights, he’s been promising that he’s going to implement his wrestling as he did in wsof, and he’s never kept that promise once. He landed one take down against Fiziev, I don’t remember off hand how many legitimate TD attempts he’s had, but it cannot be more than 5 actual attempts across 12 fights. Which is insane. Once wrestlers get a taste of a KO finish, so many of them give up on what there best at. But in Gaethje’s case his striking has actually become better.

[@joeyduncan5804]

I heard Justin say they tested him at yhe ufc pi and he has the dense bones in all of ufc. I think that is why he's a smaller 155 but his statistics and people talk about how hard he kicks and hits. Between the two density and techniques create that brutal power. Witch leaves everyone with the ko. In the porier fight he looked like they were 2 different weight classes. Like porier was a 170 and justin is really a 145 truly. Like to see justin fight Volk instead of max. But ot will be a good fight. Any gatche fight is a good fight.

[@ahamilton1189]

I'd be curious to see what that compared to Pereira

[@r3n722]

gaethje is not a small guy bro, he would die making 145

[@joeyduncan5804]

@r3n722 lol he cuts zero weight as 155 but he's huge? Dude can make 145 with ease.

[@ahamilton1189]

@@joeyduncan5804 pretty sure Dustin and Justin both walk around 170 to 180.

[@joeyduncan5804]

@ahamilton1189 right. They can but I just seen on mma hour porier os walking around 173 and I'm pretty sure justin stays around164 They can get up to 180 no problem but if they get a short notice fight like they typically do at that level. So they choose to stay dieted and lean year round just on case of a title shot call 📞 or big payday. But i know that dustin use to get to 190 even. But the struggle to cut the weight off was tough and short notice fights were almost impossible to make without compromise.

[@curturweider9473]

FYI Max Holloway is a huge underdog I don’t know what this dudes talking about he thinks he supposed to be favored 😳Justin Geechee opened as a -280 favorite

[@GibbsVideography]

It comes down to who points at the ground first

[@kentuckyfriedhuman8952]

Wassup triple C

[@joeyschmidt7546]

We need gathje vs mike perry BKFC

[@BreedersSyndicate]

Also - one person other than gaethje was known for that level of violence that they’d go through to get the ko - lawler.

Max lose to Conor, Dustin 2x, and volk 3x idk the last one but still goat

[@devauriyon9045]

honestly im holding justin to what he said months ago " he likes max way too much to fight him" but i see it going a few ways max might wrestle him a lot and he has good BJJ, i don't think justin knocks him out but if he does win it'll be like when dustin beat max the 2nd time

[@TheBlobGaziev]

Gaethje was a two-time Arizona state wrestling champion in high school and an NCAA Division I All-American wrestler at the University of Northern Colorado. No way max tries to wrestle. If he does, he is screwed especially against a larger guy up a weight class

[@aasiz_online7999]

I think Max will outpace him. May be even take Gaethje down tbh.

[@N-B-MMA]

Justins been subbed and koed more in the last 7 years than max has his whole career 😂😂

He could possibly out point him but IDK. The power difference will be evident. On the other hand he did take Dustin’s power.

This isn’t even close to BMF! Please max going up on weight it’s seriously a dead end for max ~ overmatched and I see no leg defense. When he fought mcgregor the weight made a difference same here. Just to try and rehype Gaethje after his terrible fight against Khabib. Let’s give Gaethje a small fry to toy with. Seriously a mismatch. No surprise who wins here. It’s like having Jones fight GSP. Atrocious match making ~ let’s bring in Cejudo vs Any welterweight. The mismatch lately is unreal, dull match making.

Not surprised Ali wants his guy to fight a smaller opponent. Why can't his lightweights fight other lightweights?
