Max Holloway besegrades av Conor McGregor via ett enhälligt domslut, då de möttes under ”UFC: Fight Night 26” i augusti 2013. Holloway har sedan dess radat upp hela nio segrar och nu vill han ha sin revansch. Max meddelar även att han inte förstår allt hat mot McGregor, och detta hade han att säga via ”MMAFighting”:
First things first, I’ve got Pettis. But you know, a McGregor fight can happen anyway. He said 155, 170, I recently said I’ll go ahead and fight heavyweight if he wants to fight heavyweight.
Everybody hates on this guy. For what? If you had this opportunity, you know damn straight that you’d take it. If I had the opportunity, yes, it’s history. I want to break history. Like I said before, Conor McGregor set this bar and I’m trying to break it. If you’re not trying to break it, then why are you in the game/ I’m not trying to be this guy just chugging along, I want to lead the pack. If I got this opportunity you’re damn straight I want to fight for two, give me three. Let’s make history.
Härnäst ser vi Max ta sig an ingen mindre än Anthony Pettis, då de möts under UFC 206 den 10 december i Toronto.
