How To Bet Holloway vs Gaethje
Max and Justin will go to war for this bout. Both fighters are UFC veterans with differing reputations — Gaethje is power, while Holloway is output — but neither guy is satisfied until he crushes his opponent.
Somehow Gaethje and Holloway have never crossed paths before. I expect each fighter to take some time in the early rounds feeling each other out. Gaethje will unload his classic low kicks while Holloway fires up the jab. I don't anticipate the ground game being a factor in this bout.
Holloway is elite when it comes to strike differential. He's fantastic at evading damage, whereas Gaethje soaks the hits and keeps coming. In an early stoppage, I'm favoring Gaethje. Anything longer than two rounds goes to Max.
Holloway vs Gaethje Pick
Perhaps this line will adjust closer to UFC 300. In the meantime, I'm taking Holloway as the underdog. Gaethje is a human atom bomb, but he takes way too much damage.
Holloway is always a clinical boxer. I like the Hawaii native to win and the bout to go OVER 3.5 rounds.
