ASA Heavyweight Champion Evgeny Goncharov in a conversation with , he expressed confidence that the American Justin Gaethje will achieve a quick victory over his compatriot Max Holloway .
The lightweight fight will take place on April 13 in Las Vegas during UFC 300.
– Gaethje is the favorite. He is more powerful and has been competing in the lightweight division for a long time. And Holloway is a featherweight. This is the main reason why Gaethje will be able to win. Holloway doesn’t have lightweight power. Yes, Max has good shots, he’s big. But Gaethje hits harder and more powerfully, he has good low kicks. I think Gaethje will win sooner than expected,” Goncharov told .
Former UFC interim lightweight champion Gaethje has 25 wins and four losses. In his last fight, Gaethje knocked out Dustin Poirier in the second round. Former UFC featherweight champion Holloway has 25 wins and seven losses, including a single stoppage loss to Poirier in 2012. In 2019, Holloway fought for the UFC interim lightweight title, losing to Poirier by unanimous decision.
