Can McGregor vs Max Holloway happen?
Conor McGregor, the charismatic Irishman, has been a dominant force in the UFC. His meteoric rise, trash talk, and highlight-reel knockouts have made him a global superstar. But it’s his self-proclaimed title as the “Baddest Motherfer” (BMF)* that adds an extra layer of intrigue to this potential matchup.
Holloway didn’t shy away from addressing this. “Conor likes to consider himself a BMF, right?” he quipped during the post-fight press conference. The crowd erupted, envisioning a clash between two fighters who embody the warrior spirit.
Let’s rewind to their first meeting. Back in 2013, a young Max Holloway faced off against a brash and hungry Conor McGregor. The fight took place in Boston, and it was a closely contested battle. McGregor secured a unanimous decision victory, but Holloway left a lasting impression. Both fighters were still finding their footing in the UFC, and little did they know that their paths would cross again.
Fast forward to 2024. Max Holloway is a seasoned veteran, a former champion who has faced the best in the division. Conor McGregor, despite his ventures outside the cage, remains a marquee name. A rematch between these two would be a blockbuster event, with several intriguing storylines.
Of course, there are hurdles. McGregor has other options—super fights, trilogies, and business ventures. Holloway, too, has contenders lining up. But the allure of a Conor vs. Holloway rematch is undeniable. Dana White, the UFC president, knows how to make blockbuster fights. If the stars align, we might witness a clash that transcends championships—a fight that resonates with fans worldwide.
