Conor McGregor<\/a> vs. Floyd Mayweather<\/a> was one of the biggest fights of all time … and well, the encore could be coming to a ring near you sometime in the future!<\/p>\n

“Yeah, for sure [I’m interested in a rematch],” The Notorious told Babcock, before gesturing with his hands and saying, “I’m like this with Floyd. I’m like this with little Floyd.”<\/p>\n

McGregor added … “There’s conversations ongoing always with the boy. That’s the truth. So, I’m open for it.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Of course, Conor-Floyd went down August 26, 2017 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas … and it was one of the most highly anticipated and talked about fights ever.<\/p>\n

After some early success for McGregor, which surprised a lot of fans, Mayweather took over late as Conor’s cardio gave out, and Floyd ultimately won by 10th-round TKO.<\/p>\n

The audience was massive, and the pay-per-view wasn’t cheap … with the bout living up to its moniker, “The Money Fight,” for the boxers, who walked away with hundreds of millions of dollars.<\/p>\n

The paycheck might not be as big this time around, but it’d be substantial, and what makes dollars often makes “cents.”<\/p>\n

First things first, Conor’s returning to the Octagon this Saturday at UFC 329 for another rematch — not Floyd (though it’s at the same arena) — against former champ Max Holloway<\/a>.<\/p>\n

McGregor beat a 21-year-old Holloway by unanimous decision in 2013.<\/p>\n

Almost 16 years later, Max has been the far more active fighter. Conor last fought in July 2021, when he gruesomely broke his leg against Dustin Poirier<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Despite the long layoff, McGregor tells us he’s as confident as ever and will beat Blessed once again.<\/p>\n

Then what?<\/p>\n

Conor says he plans to be “hella active” over the next few years, and as the first simultaneous champ-champ, he has set a lofty goal for himself … become the first three-division UFC champion.<\/p>\n
