Max Holloway has no problem with his rematch against Conor McGregor being held at 170 pounds.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s one weight class up from the lightweight division where Holloway currently competes, and two weight classes up from the featherweight division where Conor and Max fought for the first time back in 2013. The division choice undoubtedly gives McGregor a size advantage coming into their UFC 329 fight<\/a> on July 11th, but \u201cBlessed\u201d couldn\u2019t care less.<\/p>\n \u201cMy thoughts on the fight being at 170 was like, who cares?\u201d Holloway said in a new video on his YouTube channel. \u201cWeight is just a number. Real gladiators back in the day, they didn\u2019t walk around with a scale. You show up and you fight, and I\u2019m a fighter. Open weight class, whatever weight class. I\u2019m glad I get to share the Octagon with him.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWeight ain\u2019t nothing but a number,\u201d he repeated.<\/p>\n \u201cThat old fight with him,13 years ago, we fought,\u201d Holloway said. \u201cAnd the question was asked a lot: do you watch it? Can you take anything away from it? And the answer is no. It\u2019s 13 years. We was two young scrawny guys trying to make a name for ourselves and now we\u2019re here. He did what he did, he changed the sport in a major way.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cGlad to have him back, but unfortunately he\u2019s gotta see me. And five years is a long time. But I\u2019m getting ready for the best Conor McGregor there is. I know he\u2019s taking it serious. He looks like he\u2019s taking it very serious and I\u2019m excited for the challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n
