Paramount<\/a> about a potential rematch against McGregor. \u201cWe fought a very long time ago. I told you guys, if somebody\u2019s got one over me, I want to get him back. I\u2019d love to get him back. With him having all this talk of coming back and everybody talking about how serious he actually is. It looks like he\u2019s training and taking it and really wanting to come back to fight. It\u2019s exciting.<\/p>\n\u201cHe looks hungrier. He looks super hungry. He just did a boxing exhibition not too long ago so that was pretty cool to see him. I would just like to get one back. It\u2019s a huge fight. It\u2019s a big fight. Anything with Conor McGregor is huge but having history with the dude, being able to get one back would be cool. I\u2019ve got to get my get backs on one of the guys. If I can keep knocking down the list, that would be great.\u201d<\/p>\n
Of course, Holloway also has something to prove after a disappointing outing in his most recent fight when he dropped a lopsided decision to Charles Oliveira, which cost him the \u201cBMF\u201d title as well.<\/p>\n
Holloway has been anxious to wash the bad taste out of his mouth from that fight and he couldn\u2019t imagine a better opponent than McGregor for an opponent.<\/p>\n
But as of now, Holloway says he hasn\u2019t received a formal contract from the UFC to book him on the July card, although he\u2019s obviously willing and waiting for that to happen.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe, we\u2019ll see what happens,\u201d Holloway said about fighting at UFC 329. \u201cI\u2019m seeing all the talk that you guys see. I really didn\u2019t hear anything yet but that wouldn\u2019t be a bad time.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re only as good as your last fight they say, and we\u2019re going to get everybody forgetting about that last fight as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Max Holloway has been rumored as the ideal opponent for Conor McGregor when he makes his return to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":651676,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[570],"tags":[64,63,786,1347,785,85,787,1396],"class_list":["post-651675","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-fighting","tag-latest-news","tag-mma","tag-sports","tag-ufc","tag-ufc-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/651675","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=651675"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/651675\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/651676"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=651675"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=651675"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=651675"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
