Justin Gaethje weighs in on Ilia Topuria vs. Max Holloway

Max Holloway's last opponent Justin Gaethje recently spoke about 'Blessed's' upcoming encounter against Ilia Topuria. Speaking to The Schmo, Gaethje shared that defeating Holloway would not be a walk in the park.

But 'The Highlight' proceeded to mention Topuria's striking power and said 'El Matador' has the capability to knock Holloway out:

"Max has been there for so many times, he's got so much experience... You're not gonna run through him, no matter what... It's a crazy game and Topuria has power, so if he touches him, he could knock him out. But we'll see. Topuria was very impressive versus Volkanovski. So, we'll see how he looks."
