While addressing a press conference ahead of his next bout, Max Holloway said that Conor McGregor is certainly one of the best athletes to ever compete in the UFC.
Through his statement, Holloway made it clear that he recognized the effect that the Irishman has had on the sport of MMA.
Sighting his competitiveness, Max Holloway explained that he wants to fight the best in the sport. He stated that he believed that Conor McGregor is certainly one of the best. The currently No. 1 ranked featherweight went on to note that a rematch against McGregor intrigued him.

Conor McGregor vs Max Holloway 2: Is the rematch possible?
After his fight against Max Holloway, Conor McGregor went on to conquer the featherweight division by defeating Jose Aldo in 13 seconds via knockout in 2015. Meanwhile, Max Holloway became the undisputed featherweight champion in 2017.
McGregor is now set to fight in the lightweight division against Dustin Poirier at UFC 257. This is going to be the second time they face each other.
