McGregor (22-6) beat Holloway in 2013. He went on to become a two-division champion and a true superstar in the sport. The “Notorious” one hasn’t competed since 2021 after breaking his tibia, recovering and appearing in movies, while also being involved in several controversies.
The Irish fighter claims to have that hunger that once made him untouchable. He also believes he’s one of the best featherweights of all time, and looks to prove it against all-time great at featherweight.
“I have many things I have taken into this camp that have been fuel to my fire,” McGregor told ESPN. “One, the greatest featherweight of all time. This ranking system of the greatest featherweights; I’ve beaten these men, but I’m not on the list. How have I beaten these men easily and handedly, and been kept from the list?
“That’s why I love Max as an opponent. He has fought so many people. He has a very impressive body of work in the Octagon. He’s a future Hall of Famer. Now, I get to showcase my level.”
Holloway (27-9) went on a multi-fight win streak after the McGregor loss. He won the UFC featherweight title and earned the status of BMF Champion. The Hawaiian has taken on all comers.
One of the most lethal strikers in UFC history, Holloway believes he has a lot left in the tank. He looks to prove that with a big win against McGregor, which could set up a trilogy fight and more.
“I’m going to go out there and remind the world who I am,” Holloway told the UFC via Sherdog. “Who knows? I have history with the 155-pound champ, and everybody keeps saying the 170-pound champ’s for Conor. So, if I just fit myself right in there, it would be nice.”
