Joe Rogan Breaks Down the UFC 300 Showdown Between Max Holloway and BMF Justin Gaethje
“A lot of people are counting him out and his Justin Gaethje fight, you know. But he’s got a lot of time to prepare for this. The first fight when he fought 55 when he fought Dustin, that was a short-notice fight. He didn’t have time to like really bulk up. Like well, I don’t know how short notice it was but I know he didn’t bulk up. I think he just tried to fight you know, just be 145 but not cut weight. You know, which is natural weight class.” Rogan said
