Max Holloway hinted at a third fight with Conor McGregor taking place at Allegiant Stadium following their upcoming clash at UFC 329.<\/p>\n

“He was talking about some contract stuff, how he doesn’t want to wait a year [to fight again],” Holloway said, per ESPN’s Brett Okamoto<\/a>. “I told him, ‘Don’t need to worry, bro. I got you.’ I go out there and get my hand raised in some crazy fashion, poke the bear a little bit more [with McGregor], poke [UFC CEO] Dana White, and we do Allegiant Stadium in December.”<\/p>\n

The looming bout between Holloway and McGregor at T-Mobile Arena was announced<\/a> on May 16, representing a rematch of their UFC Fight Night battle in Aug. 2013. <\/p>\n

McGregor, who picked up a unanimous decision win in the initial fight, will be making his return to the Octagon for the first time since July 2021.<\/p>\n

He previously revealed that he’s also scheduled to fight in April 2027 after facing Holloway again, but wanted the next bout to take place at an earlier date.<\/p>\n

“I have both dates for my fights,” McGregor told Uncrowned on June 16, via Okamoto<\/a>. “I have July 11, and when would you think they put me back in? April 2027. It’s almost a year later. That’s ridiculous to me. But this is the way the contract was done. I have a second date in April 2027.”<\/p>\n

Holloway is interested in helping McGregor secure a fight before 2027 at Allegiant Stadium, which is typically home to the Las Vegas Raiders and contains a capacity of 65,000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Max Holloway hinted at a third fight with Conor McGregor taking place at Allegiant Stadium following their upcoming…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":780286,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[64,63,593,85],"class_list":["post-780285","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/780285","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=780285"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/780285\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/780286"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=780285"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=780285"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=780285"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
