Max Holloway captivated by Conor McGregor take back and remembers a ‘cool’ time the pair shared before the pressure went into the UFC fight in 2013

Max Holloway admitted he would like to fight Conor McGregor again and recalled the ‘cool’ moment the two shared in 2013.

The Notorious competed in his second UFC fight after a move from Cage Warriors and the featherweight bout went a long way, with McGregor winning.

Holloway was just 21 at the time of the case and went on an incredible run of 13 consecutive UFC wins, including a backhand win over Jose Aldo.

The Hawaii firefighter is looking to stop a two-fight losing streak at Fight Island on Saturday when he confronts Calvin Kattar but said a reshuffle with McGregor ‘intrigues’ on him.

“I’m a competitor. I want to compete, ”said the old featherweight champion. “People consider it [to be] one of the best boys in our sport. You know what I mean? To this day.

“I can’t wait. As a competitor, I would [rematch him]. That was one of the fights that got me into it.

“And like you said, we fought [such] a long time ago. And he knows that too.

He said: “At the end of the day, as I said, first things first, we have Kattar. We’ll find out later. “

Holloway also recalled a nice time the pair shared right before putting pressure back in 2013.

He said: “It was great. I mean, like, the dude, like… we get in each other’s faces for weightlifting.

“But just before the pressure comes, we are at the back and we stand side by side because you are like this (putting his ancestors together) before you walk out.

“And it’s like, ‘Hey.’ I said to him, ‘Hey, nice shorts.’ And it’s like, ‘You too.’

“We had some interesting shorts at the time. And then there it is. The dude is a good boy. ”
