Conor McGregor and Max Holloway fought each other at Featherweight. But now Conor wants this fight to happen in Lightweight. He added, “He’s a tall lad, He’s taller than me, so he could build up. He’s only fought at 155 once.”

“It was against Dustin. He was a bit out-powered, but he could certainly do it. Against other lightweights? You never know. But the rematch would be 155, for sure.” In the end, Conor also spoke about who is a better boxer.

‘The Notorious’ concludes, “He’s not the best boxer, It’s no question, and I’ll prove that on Saturday. Let’s see what he says Sunday morning.”
