As many fans know, Max has an incredible chin and has never been knocked out. At UFC 300, ‘The Highlight’ plans on changing that.

Gaethje makes his intentions known

“I have 25 wins and 20 knockouts. I’m pretty proud of that,” Gaethje told ESPN. “That’s one thing that I tried to sustain throughout my career purposefully. So yeah, that’s something that I’m shooting for. Same thing with Tony Ferguson. Nobody had ever finished him. I didn’t knock him out in a traditional way, but I certainly created enough damage for that fight to be rightfully stopped.

“I would rather not get there here (vs. Holloway), I promise you that. This could be a war, a battle of attrition. If I can’t find him, if I can’t hurt him, then he never stops. He’s constantly creating angles and constantly creating pressure, and it could be a tough fight. If I can’t find his timing early, momentum is everything in there.”
