Neither man had reached their prime, and Holloway in particular was rather green in the sport of MMA. McGregor won that encounter via unanimous decision, but he suffered a torn ACL during the bout.<\/p>\n<p>Both men would go on to have Hall of Fame-worthy careers. While McGregor became the megastar, Holloway emerged as the fan favorite warrior.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, \u201cBlessed\u201d and the \u201cNotorious\u201d one have shown mutual respect, but have also teased a future rematch. Holloway uploaded a new video on his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=eiYH3q4-zos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">YouTube channel<\/a> expressing interest in a second clash with McGregor (via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmafighting.com\/ufc\/477960\/max-holloway-calls-for-conor-mcgregor-fight-at-any-weight-for-his-comeback-sign-me-up\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">MMAFighting<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBefore the fight, I was talking about it,\u201d Holloway said. \u201cI mean Conor\u2019s there, Conor got one over me. He\u2019s talking about coming back. I\u2019m coming off a loss. It would look pretty fun to get that one back with him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many fans have dismissed the idea of McGregor ever fighting at 155 pounds again. If that is the case, Holloway is willing to chase McGregor at welterweight or even higher.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know a lot of people are worried about the weight and this and that,\u201d Holloway said. \u201cIf he doesn\u2019t want to cut weight then I don\u2019t want to cut weight. We can do it at any weight to be honest. It\u2019s just about getting it back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the end of the day, that would be a fun fight but we\u2019ll see what happens. We\u2019ll see what way the UFC wants to go and that\u2019s all we can do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Holloway was last seen in action during the UFC 326 main event. He put the BMF Championship at stake against Charles Oliveira but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bjpenn.com\/mma-news\/charles-oliveira\/ufc-326-results-charles-oliveira-dominates-max-holloway-highlights\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">lost the title via unanimous decision<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Are you still intrigued by a potential rematch between Conor McGregor and Max Holloway?
