Justin Gaethje expresses his thoughts on exposing Max Holloway during the UFC 218 weigh-ins. Gaethje and Holloway are set to face off in the historic UFC 300 fight card in April. Following the announcement of their fight, fans recalled a previous incident between the two fighters. This incident occurred during the UFC 218 weigh-ins when Gaethje held a towel for Holloway, inadvertently exposing him for a brief moment. During a Q&A session in California, Holloway addressed the incident and Gaethje joined him to provide further details.
The incident took place when Holloway and Gaethje crossed paths at the UFC 218 weigh-ins. Holloway failed to make weight and was required to remove his shorts in order to meet the featherweight limit. Gaethje volunteered to hold the towel to protect Holloway’s modesty, but he inadvertently held it in front of the scales, obstructing the measurement. Realizing the situation, Gaethje made the decision to lift the towel and place it behind the scales, briefly exposing Holloway.
After several years, Holloway and Gaethje are set to face each other in a lightweight bout, competing for the BMF championship on the monumental UFC 300 fight card. Both fighters appeared at the UFC 300 Q&A session, where they engaged in a face-off. During this face-off, Holloway playfully pretended to remove Gaethje’s pants, referencing the “towel-gate” incident.
Despite the “towel-gate” incident, there was no animosity between Holloway and Gaethje. They shared a good laugh about it and even hugged each other after the face-offs. It is important to note that despite their mutual respect, both fighters possess lethal skills inside the cage. With Holloway’s unbreakable chin and Gaethje’s brutal power, this matchup is akin to an “unstoppable force meeting an immovable object.” Fight fans eagerly anticipate their clash at UFC 300 on April 13 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
