Max Holloway rekindled his feud with McGregor by saying he’s willing to compete against him in any weight class in a recent episode of The MMA Hour. 

Max Holloway said, “I would love to fight Conor, I was the only guy that took Conor to a decision at 145…I know he wants to come back, but that’d be a fight that [would be] super interesting, super fun. A lot of a lot of questions.“

Given that Holloway has chosen to stay down at 145 lb with the exception of one attempt at lightweight gold and that McGregor has significantly bulked up and expects to return at 170 lb, the weight would be the key factor in a bout between the two. The Hawaiian believes that, if it meant getting a deal over the finish line, he would fight at a rarely sanctioned openweight.
