Gaethje speaks on what he would have done differently in his BMF title fight against Holloway.
April 13, 2023, saw Holloway crowned the new BMF Champion, producing one of the most violent knockouts in UFC history - a buzzer-beater finish of Gaethje in the final round of their five-round bout.Holloway led the dance for most of the fight, but Gaethje had his moments, with the lightweight contender coming on strong in the fourth round. Knowing he was likely down on the scorecards, Gaethje gave it everything in round 5, but Holloway ultimately came out on top in their legendary brawl.
"My game plan wasn't necessarily the correct game plan, but that's always something you can know after the fact," Gaethje said on the. "I think he fought an amazing fight, and he was very precise and perfect that night, and that was a very tough Max Holloway to beat."It's hard to picture anybody beating Holloway that night, with the longtime featherweight turning in one of the best performances of his UFC career in a surprising move up to the lightweight division.
"I think I would have pressured more," Gaethje said on what he would've done differently. "I would have tried to move forward and fight at not... I thought he would come to me, and then when he did come, it was far between, where it was so unpredictable and fast that I could, I didn't see it or find it.
"If I would have been inside and like I did in the fourth round, similar to the fourth round, only round that I for sure think I won, I moved forward. I was trying to step on his feet and, yeah, I think that was the way that I had to fight that fight, at least from the second round on.
"And so the next time I step in there, you know, the best live show on Earth. We'll see if I have as good a dance partner as I had . But yeah, my intentions will be the same."UFC's Tom Aspinall Recalls Traveler Heritage With Unique Training Method
