Max Holloway Looks Towards McGregor Following the Oliveira Loss
By Eddie Sanchez
Former BMF titleholder and Featherweight champion, Max Holloway, has challenged Conor McGregor to a fight, sparking the latest rumor about McGregor’s eventual return to the octagon. Since his loss to Charles Oliveira at UFC 326 this month, Holloway is prioritizing the lucrative rematch.
McGregor was recently cleared from his 18-month anti-doping suspension, meaning he could headline the upcoming International Fight Week card in July if the UFC chooses.
“Before the fight, I was talking about it. I mean, Conor’s there, Conor got one over me. He’s talking about coming back. I’m coming off a loss. It would look pretty fun to get that one back with him. I know a lot of people are worried about the weight and this and that. If he doesn’t want to cut weight, then I don’t want to cut weight. We can do it at any weight, to be honest. It’s just about getting it back,” Holloway stated.
With every rumor surrounding McGregor’s return, it seems we are getting closer and closer to having a blockbuster announced.
