Justin Gaethje Getting Handed BMF Title Defense Instead of Islam Makhachev by Dana White Leaves UFC Insider Surprised

UFC CEO Dana White recently announced the next big fight for UFC 300, and it’s Justin Gaethje taking on Max Holloway. The pair have been going back and forth on Social Media for quite some time now and will look to settle their differences once and for all. 

While the fans seem excited about the fight, Michael Bisping takes a different approach. The former UFC champion took to his YouTube channel to analyze the fights and shared his thoughts regarding the upcoming battle. Let us find out what the 44-year-old has to say. 

Michael Bisping looks ‘surprised’ with Justin Gaethje taking on Max Halloway

Justin Gaethje is currently coming off a two-fight winning streak, and his last win came against Dustin Poirier at UFC 291. The 35-year-old won the fight via knockout and is inching closer to the lightweight title. However, with the recent announcement, the much-awaited clash with Islam Makhachev has been put on hold. UFC 300 is one of the most iconic events of the UFC, and the fans will get to see the BMF title being defended. 

Bisping, after the announcement of the fight, looked a bit surprised. During the video, he said: “UFC 300 so far is top to bottom absolutely stacked, and now two more brilliant fights to the card. It’s going to be great. But I am a little surprised. I thought the next fight for Justin Gaethje was going to be against Islam Makhachev. Remember, the lightweight champion, the pound-for-pound number one on the planet, came out and said June 8th, just engage it on pay-per-view. Of course, now we know that definitely is not happening because he’s fighting Max Holloway, defending the BMF belt.”

32-year-old Max Holloway is also on a winning run and has won his last fight against Chan-Sung at UFC Singapore in August. ‘Blessed’ currently holds a record of 25-7-0 and will be eager to wrap the BMF title around his waist when he takes on Justin Gaethje next. As the BMF title is on the line, what else can the fans expect at UFC 300?
