I cover combat sports (MMA and boxing).

The UFC has booked a high-profile battle between popular fighters Max Holloway and Justin Gaethje. The bout will be contested for the unofficial BMF title. While the belt has garnered some attention from fans and is usually contested for by some of the more accomplished fighters in the promotion’s history, not everyone is a fan.. “Nobody gains anything from this fight. I have three guys: Tsarukyan, Oliveira, and Gaethje, but Tsarukyan and Oliveira – I beat them already.

The first BMF title fight saw Jorge Masvidal defeat a past-his-prime Nate Diaz via TKO at UFC 244. Masvidal didn’t defend the title, he later retired. It’s hard to know what to make of this concept. Masvidal and Diaz were in different points of their careers than Gaethje and Poirier. And it seems that’s part of Makhachev’s point. Neither Gaethje nor Poirier were or is currently done as a legit title contender.

Gaethje remains a top contender and Holloway is arguably the greatest featherweight of all time. He could have a path to another shot at the 145-pound title with Ilia Topuria defeating Alexander Volkanovski earlier this year.
