On the internet, videos emerged showing an infamous towel incident mistakenly involving Gaethje, leaving Holloway embarrassed for life. Let’s dive in to find details about it.
Ahead of UFC 300- check out the infamous incident happened between Justin Gaethje and Max Holloway
To provide background, it is well known that fighters must hit their weight on the scale ahead of the event, and if they fail, their fight is off. To make weight, fighters often remove all their clothes. A similar incident occurred at the weigh-ins for UFC 218, where Holloway, in an effort to meet the weight, removed his undergarments covered by a UFC-branded towel. This incident turned into a moment of embarrassment that will stay with Holloway for life.
During the weigh-ins, Gaethje unintentionally exposed Holloway while holding a towel for him. Gaethje’s momentary oversight prevented officials from checking Holloway’s weight. When ‘The Highlight’ moved the towel, it exposed Holloway, causing embarrassment and a stir among the audience. Check out the video below.

And while this was unintentional, people on the internet claim that it’s a perfect backstory for the BMF title. Now, Holloway is seeking revenge, given that he is the reason behind his whole life embarrassment moment. However, neither Dana White nor the fighters have said anything about selling the fight this way; it’s just yet another popular internet theory.

While Holloway may not be seeking revenge, he is determined to go for the BMF title. He is set for the next challenge, aiming to dethrone Gaethje as the BMF title holder. Given Gaethje’s performance in his last match, he is undoubtedly one of the baddest fighters on the planet, and he won’t let go of the belt easily at UFC 300.
