Max Holloway doesn\u2019t care who he gets his belt from, because with interim champion Jose Aldo and Conor McGregor both holding featherweight gold, the Hawaiian has options.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t be focusing on just Conor, Aldo has a belt too,\u201d Holloway said on the MMA Hour<\/a>. \u201cConor may have to drop the belt if he doesn\u2019t come back to 145 pounds soon.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Holloway dropped a decision loss to McGregor back in 2013 but has rattled off an impressive nine fight win streak since then.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aldo, who was knocked out in 13 seconds against McGregor when he lost the belt, beat perennial contender Frankie Edgar to take the interim strap at UFC 200. So in a weight class with two belts, the Hawaiian has options going into his next bout.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy dream fight is rematch with Conor or a fight with Aldo,\u201d Holloway said. \u201cI\u2019ve wanted to fight Aldo since his WEC days.\u201d<\/em> <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And although McGregor may be the man to beat in the featherweight division, there are some hurdles in setting up a rematch with Holloway. The brash Irishman hasn\u2019t fought at 145 pounds since defeating Aldo back at UFC 194, instead opting to fight twice at welterweight against Nate Diaz, where he went 1-1 against the Stockton Slugger.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI keep calling Conor out, but he doesn\u2019t talk about me. Dana said if his next fight is at 155 pounds then he will have to drop the belt. They\u2019re gonna do what they want to do.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t really matter to me either way,\u201d Holloway said. \u201cI\u2019m going for 10 (wins in a row) either way, no matter who\u2019s belt I take.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
