Justin Gaethje vs Max Holloway Prediction: Blessed Doesn't Stand a Chance

In the early hours of 14 April, two of the brightest representatives of a striking but very different style - Justin Gaethje and Max Holloway- will close in the cage.

Using the word 'hurricane' or 'typhoon' would be appropriate here, as Holloway lacks the physicality to take Gaethje down. He may be tall and thin, but in terms of strength, he is no match for Justin in his weight class. The latter is a skilled wrestler, preferring to punch for a knockout rather than using combination punches, and that's how he crashes the opponent's defense and head. It's hard to believe that Max can stop such a fighter in this weight category. He might only find a weak spot if Justin wants to play the jab exchange, but more likely, Gaethje will act like himself and go for an early victory. Holloway will be moving, but that stuff cannot take the opponent away. Even if both are in optimal condition, Max will have no chance against this superior power. 

We don’t expect Gaethje to win in the first round, as he will be tiring Holloway out in the second or third one. We recommend betting on Gaethje's victory, which could come early, either by knockout, disqualification, or other means.
