Max Holloway Wants A Rematch With Conor McGregor

In an interview with MMA Fighting, Max Holloway said he wanted a rematch with Conor McGregor and would even fight at heavyweight to get it. McGregor previously beat Holloway by unanimous decision in 2013. Here are highlights:

On wanting to fight McGregor: “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.”

On his approach to his fight career: “My birthday is in a couple days. I’m 25. My body is growing. You know? The plan is to kill everybody, take out all the contenders, no whining. When I get my title shot, I get my shot. Take down [opponents] and ask whose next and see what happens … I’m Hawaiian, I’m Polynesian, us boys can get big, so we’ll see what happens.”

On repeating McGregor’s two-title victory: “I would love to do that. 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.”
