Khabib Nurmagomedov criticizes the UFC's matchmaking decisions, particularly questioning the fight between Justin Gaethje and Max Holloway at UFC 300. He suggests that Holloway should fight Ilia Topuria instead. Henry Cejudo also advocates for Holloway to face Topuria. The lightweight division's matchups are deemed illogical by Khabib, who believes Islam Makhachev should fight Gaethje. The BMF title fight at UFC 300 is also criticized by Khabib.
