“All respect for Max Holloway, but I don’t know, and I don’t understand why UFC make this fight, Justin Gaethje vs. Max Holloway It makes no sense my opinion.” Khabib expressed his views on Max vs Justin fight.


“In my opinion, Holloway is supposed to fight with Topuria next, maybe in September. Justin Gaethje is supposed to fight with Islam in May or June, and Tsarukyan vs. Oliveira, they fight in April. Whoever wins that, is the winner of Islam vs. Justin Gaethje." Khabib Nurmagomedov reveals his fight bookings.
