Justin Gaethje is set to take on fellow American Max Holloway for the symbolic BMF title at UFC 300, which will be held on April 13th in Las Vegas. This highly anticipated lightweight contest is one of the latest additions to the landmark event. Gaethje, aged 35, claimed the BMF title in July of last year with a knockout victory over Dustin Poirier. On the other hand, 32-year-old Holloway will be making his lightweight return after a two-year hiatus.

Jim Miller, a veteran lightweight who holds the record for the most wins in the UFC with 26, will also be featured at UFC 300. Miller, who turns 41 in August, previously fought at UFC 100 and UFC 200. His opponent for this event will be Bobby Green.

The BMF title , which stands for ‘baddest motherf****r,’ is awarded to the toughest fighter in the UFC. It was introduced in 2019 and has only been contested twice before. Holloway, a former featherweight champion, last competed in the lightweight division four years ago when he faced Poirier for the interim title.

Gaethje’s recent performances have been a mixed bag, with two losses in title fights. However, he is currently on a two-fight winning streak following impressive victories over Rafael Fiziev and Poirier.

Aside from the Gaethje vs. Holloway bout, UFC 300 will also feature several other exciting matchups. Zhang Weili of China will defend her strawweight title against compatriot Yan Xiaonan. Additionally, there will be a lightweight title eliminator between Brazil’s Charles Oliveira and Armenian-Russian Arman Tsarukyan. Another notable fight on the card is a light-heavyweight contest between former Czech champion Jiri Prochazka and Austria’s Aleksandar Rakic. Furthermore, former bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling will make his UFC featherweight debut against Calvin Kattar. Lastly, undefeated middleweight Bo Nickal will face Cody Brundage in an all-American showdown.
