#3 Chael Sonnen says UFC 300 will have a BMF title fight
Chael Sonnen claims that a BMF title fight between Justin Gaethje and Max Holloway will soon be announced.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, the veteran fighter said that while 'The Highlight' waits to fight Islam Makhachev for the lightweight title, he would be defending the belt he already owns at UFC 300.
Sonnen said:
"He [Gaethje] is only willing to wait for Islam... because it's the title. Well, once you remind him you have a title too, and we would like you to defend it, all of a sudden, all of that is changed... There is only one guy [who called him out], which is Max Holloway... So, as we are starting to look at UFC 300... That's the big prize, that's the one the boys want... Justin Gaethje and Max Holloway, that announcement is coming soon."

In a video shared on X (formerly Twitter) by boxer Badou Jack on December 24, Gervonta Davis was seen undergoing the ritual of converting to Islam.
UFC fighter Belal Muhammad welcomed 'Tank' to the community with open arms, commenting 'Alhamdulillah', which loosely translates to "praise be to God".
Fans were also supportive of the boxer's decision, although some took this opportunity to aim jabs at him.
