Conor mcgregor vs holloway 2: max reveals why fight won't happen soon

McGregor and Holloway locked horns with one another at UFC Fight Night 26 in Boston back in August 2013. McGregor, the reigning UFC lightweight champion, came out of the contest victorious,

defeating the Hawaii native via unanimous decision. Twenty-five-year-old Holloway has been on an absolute tear since that setback, rattling off 12 consecutive victories - seven of which have

come by way of KO or TKO - on his way to claiming and defending the UFC featherweight title, which he prised from Jose Aldo's clutches in emphatic fashion in June. Holloway's

stellar win streak has generated a real interest in a rematch with McGregor, despite the fact no longer competes in the 145lbs division. Talk of a second encounter between the pair came up

yet again after Holloway defeated Aldo in the main event of UFC 218 in the early hours of Sunday morning. Holloway is more than willing to try to avenge his last loss inside the Octagon but

doesn’t foresee McGregor and his team being keen on having a rematch. “I’m a champion in my division, and I’ve got to keep it everything rolling. I’ve got a throne to defend, and I’m not

going on a hiatus. As long as I get contenders, I’m going to fight, but if UFC called me for that, I’ll gladly fight him,” Holloway said in the UFC 218 post-fight press conference. CONOR

world, this and that — but right now, really think about this. Conor is talking about Paulie Malignaggi... in MMA. Let that sink in. “Paulie Malignaggi in MMA. I don’t know what to say after

that.” A rematch with McGregor would almost certainly bring about the biggest payday of Holloway’s MMA career. GETTY Conor McGregor defeated Max Holloway via unanimous decision in August
