Does Holloway get a LW title shot with win over Gaethje?

[FrankDux]

Or is that TS reserved for Arman/Olives? Does Holloway continue fighting at LW if he beats Gaethje? Who does he fight?

 

[Conor Strickland]

I don't think he'd care about the LW title after getting the BMF. Bit of a step down

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

He'll defend the BMF Belt vs #1 contender Islam

 

[Rorschachxx]

He will be carrying the most coveted price in all of professional combat sports - the BMF title. As if that cheap UFC title is even worth training for.

Max vs Islam would be a fun fight.
Remix of the Khabib vs Max fight that almost happened years ago.

 

[chinarice]

No, especially if Do Bronx beats Arman

Come on bro I love Max but that's a terrible matchup for him

 

[Domitian]

Probably Arman Olives winner. Oh God, imagine the pissing and moaning if Islam gets to defend against Max. Seems much much more likely they'll book Max vs Topuria if he beats Volk and they get two title fights instead of one.

Max does have one of the best takedown defenses in UFC history(even against volk).
If Alex can stuff the takedowns who says Max can't?
It'd be intriguing either way to find out

 

[Mammothman]

Yes absolutely, he is a legend, former champ and Justin was next in line anyways.

 

[El Fernas]

Not really but it does generate interest if Holloway performs at his best at 155, its the biggest stage, they are the co-main.

 

[laleggenda27]

No. I doubt the UFC would want to unify the BMF title with a real title. Keeping them separate allows the UFC to market more title fights. I expect the Max-Gaethje winner to fight either the Dustin-BSD winner or Conor.

And the Oliveira-Arman winner will almost certainly get the next title shot.

 

[CatchtheseHands]

No and even if he did. Islam would beat him at this stage.

 

[kingghidrah]

He becomes LW GOAT if he wins

 

[bng]

I don't think he'd care about the LW title after getting the BMF. He would be on CTE holidays

fixed

 

[tritestill]

It's all clown show

Hell yeah

 

[cburm]

If max wins he deserves it

 

[fortheo]

Nah, he'll probably fight another top LW contender, then if we wins that one he'll get a title shot. Or he'll see what happens with Volk and topuria and drop back to FW if topuria wins.

BMF division > LW division
