Max Holloway, known as 'Blessed', has shared his prediction for the UFC Freedom 250 main event, where Ilia Topuria will face Justin Gaethje. This significant UFC event is taking place at the White House. Holloway acknowledges that many are underestimating Justin Gaethje, who he describes as very dangerous with one-hit power in both kicks and punches. He recalls Gaethje's striking ability from their past encounters.
Despite Gaethje's threats, Holloway ultimately predicts that the current lightweight champion, Ilia Topuria, will emerge victorious and keep his crown. Holloway's prediction comes from his firsthand experience, having been knocked out by Topuria in October 2024 when challenging for the featherweight title. He also notes that while Gaethje is hittable, Topuria has a history of devastating finishes. The fight is scheduled for Sunday night.
