Max Holloway is fresh off of an impressive win over Cub Swanson at UFC on FOX 15, but already has plans for who he would love to fight next.<\/p>\n

Holloway stopped by The MMA Hour<\/a> today and talked about a potential fight down the road, a rematch with Conor McGregor.<\/p>\n

The Hawaiian fighter lost the first time around, but says he wants to get back in there with him. He also reveals that he was injured in that fight.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ll fight whoever. [But] I\u2019d love to get that McGregor fight. Everybody was like, \u2018oh, McGregor beat you with an ACL,\u2019 that he destroyed me this and that. I was like cool, you know, because not a lot of people knew I was injured [too]. I came out with it, people were like, \u2018oh you know he\u2019s making an excuse now, he comes out two years later\u2019\u2026and that\u2019s because I didn\u2019t want to cry about it. I\u2019m not that person. But it just gets to a point where these guys keep saying, \u2018you got annihilated, the guy had a blown ACL, blah blah,\u2019 and it\u2019s frustrating.”

\n“I got a high ankle sprain in the first 30 seconds of that fight. I kicked him in his knee and then I kicked him in his elbow right in the first 30 seconds, and I just could not move. I tell everyone, go watch any Max Holloway fight — when do I ever move straight back? Go tell me. Go point out any fight. If you watch my fights you know that wasn\u2019t me.
\n<\/em>
\n“A lot of people were like, \u2018that was the best you,\u2019 this and that and the other stuff, but McGregor got hurt at the end of the second round. He got hurt on the ground. So I was thinking, that\u2019s my point exactly. Those guys say he\u2019s going to knock me out the next time — he had two rounds to knock me out before he got injured. So where was it? I don\u2019t see it.”
