Max Holloway isn’t ruling out a possible rematch against Conor McGregor following his UFC 326 clash.
On March 7, Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira will clash within the UFC 326 important event with the BMF title on the road.
The pair of UFC legends first clashed back in 2015 in what was each fighters’ first important event, with Holloway coming out on top because of a bizarre injury to Oliveira.
‘Blessed’ Holloway has a whole lot of history with several top fighters within the lightweight division, linked to each the interim champion Justin Gaethje, and the undisputed champion, Ilia Topuria.
Holloway not ruling out potential rematch against Conor McGregor
With such a deep-rooted history within the featherweight and light-weight divisions, a powerful win over ‘Do Bronx’ on March 7 could once more put Holloway in undisputed title contention.
Despite that, the 34-year-old isn’t ruling out a possible rematch against Conor McGregor, who he lost to in 2013 at the start of each of their UFC tenures.
“Yeah, we’ll see what happens, you recognize?” Holloway replied in an interview with ESPN when he was asked if he’d call McGregor out with a win.
“Very first thing is first, how repeatedly have we seen guys talk in regards to the future and so they type of forget in regards to the fight in front of them after which they fall straight on their ass.
“After this, brother, there may be a lot. I actually have history with the interim champion in our weight class, I actually have history with the undisputed title holder in our weight class after which such as you said, Conor McGregor.
“I actually have the BMF title and the last time I checked, the BMF title was at 170lbs before, so we’ll see what happens. Imagine a UFC 300 moment all yet again, holy s—, the world is ours, in order that’s what I’m gonna exit for,” he continued.
Who will Conor McGregor fight in his UFC return?
Despite having not fought since 2021, ‘The Notorious’ has been targeting a return on the upcoming UFC White House event on June 14.
And ahead of his potential return on the historic event, he has been going through extensive drug-testing, making him essentially the most tested athlete in the game.
Over the past few weeks, the Irishman has been linked to several different fighters, with most up-to-date rumors linking him to a possible fight against Carlos Prates.
Nonetheless, the previous UFC double champion stays adamant that if he does return to the game, his comeback fight must be against Michael Chandler, finally settling their longtime feud.
Despite that, it’s unclear as of this moment who the promotion will match McGregor up with, and Holloway could add his name to that blend with a possible BMF title fight if he retains the title.
