Max Holloway wants a rematch with Conor McGregor and the UFC star will give it to him. McGregor recently announced on Twitter after the Hawaiian expressed his desire to fight him before retirement.
Conor McGregor and Max Holloway faced each other in 2013 at UFC Fight Night: 26. The fight went the entire length and ended with a decision in favor of McGregor. Now Max Holloway wants a rematch. Holloway recently secured a win against Arnold Allen with a unanimous decision in his favor. Now he stated that he wants to fight him again for the final time before retiring. “I would love to fight Conor. I was the only guy that took Conor to a decision at ’45,” Holloway said.
Conor McGregor is preparing for his UFC return against Michael Chandler later this year. ‘The Notorious’ is returning from a serious leg injury he suffered against Dustin Poirier back in 2021. He responded to Holloway’s demand on Twitter where he responded to a fan’s tweet saying, “I’m never retiring so we defo fighting, lad.”
Holloway is open to facing McGregor in any weight class. He mentioned in a recent episode of The MMA Hour, “He’s big right now. We’ll see what happens. I know he wants to come back but that would be a fight that would be super interesting, super fun.”
Max Holloway vs Gervonta Davis
Max Holloway wants to fight Gervonta Davis. “Tank” recently beat his long-time rival Ryan Garcia and gave him the first loss of his career. Davis himself remains undefeated. Gervonta Davis is a three-weight-division world champion and has held five world titles.
Max Holloway claims to be the best boxer in the UFC and recently entertained the idea on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani. “Let’s make a big fight with ‘Tank’ or something,” Holloway said. “Tank is following Floyd Mayweather’s recipe. So why not he fight an MMA guy, we do a big one. I can shit talk to him.” Floyd Mayweather has been a mentor for Gervonta Davis and for a long time “Tank” fought under the Mayweather promotion.
But Holloway doesn’t want the rehydration clause Davis put in his fight against Ryan Garcia. “Just don’t put no hydration clause in it like how he did to my man Garcia. [Ryan Garcia]” says Holloway. Though 31, Max Holloway has had an impressive career in the UFC and has faced some of the best on the roster. If Holloway vs Davis does happen, it will be interesting to see how both fare against each other.
