Justin Gaethje and Bobby Green open as favorites in blockbuster UFC 300 fights

Justin Gaethje and Bobby Green have opened as the two favorites in their recently announced UFC 300 fights.

Last night, UFC president Dana White made two huge announcements within the context of UFC 300. We already know it’s going to be one of the biggest events in promotional history, but on Tuesday, the card got even stronger. With three months to go, more contests are likely to be announced, but we’re off to a great start based on this evidence.

Dana White announced that Justin Gaethje will defend his BMF championship against former featherweight king Max Holloway. In addition to that, Jim Miller will get his wish and compete on the UFC 300 card opposite Bobby Green.

It goes without saying that all four men will put on a show. In addition, though, we already have some early odds to look through courtesy of BetOnline.ag.

Regardless of who you have down as the favorite in either of these contests, there’s no denying that UFC 300 is going to benefit massively from having these four guys on the card. For Gaethje and Holloway, in particular, there’s an excellent chance that the winner will earn a crack at UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev.

As for Bobby Green and Jim Miller, these two veterans know how to put on a show. Green wants to bounce back from his emphatic knockout loss to Jalin Turner, whereas Miller is riding a huge wave of momentum after his submission win last weekend.
