Hawaiian featherweight Max Holloway is currently on a fantastic, 9-fight winning-streak. The last man he lost to is former featherweight champion<\/a> and current lightweight champion Conor McGregor. Their fight occurred all the way back in 2013.<\/p>\n

Since then, Holloway has established himself as one of the best fighters on earth \u2013 as evidenced by his upcoming interim featherweight title fight with Anthony Pettis.<\/a> While Holloway is focused on his upcoming battle with Pettis, he’s made no secret of the fact that he’s keen on a rematch with McGregor \u2013 even if that rematch occurs at heavyweight<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While Holloway is interested in a second fight with McGregor, however, he’s far from a McGregor hater. In a recent interview with Champions.co<\/a>, he explained that he’d jump at the chance to win titles in two divisions, as McGregor recently did<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody hates on this guy \u2013\u00a0for what? If you had the opportunity [to fight for the title in a second division], you know damn straight you\u2019d take it,\u201d Holloway said.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIf I had the opportunity, yes \u2013\u00a0it\u2019s history,\u201d he continued. \u201cI want to make history. I want to break history. Conor McGregor set this bar, and bars are always meant to be broken. If you\u2019re not trying to shoot or break it, then why are you in the game, then? I\u2019m not trying to be this guy just chugging along. I\u2019m trying to be the leader of the pack.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Anthony<\/a><\/p>\n

If Holloway wants to make history in the future, he’ll have to get by Anthony Pettis at UFC 206 this Saturday. He has every intention to do so. While many fans are anticipating a war between the two featherweights, Holloway says his plan is to hand Pettis a lopsided beating.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not trying to go for the \u2018Fight of the Night\u2019 performance,” he said. “That means the guy was my equal, and I don\u2019t want an equal in there,\u201d Holloway said. \u201cI go out there and I make people wonder, \u2018Why is this guy here? Why did they match me with him? This is a horrible matchup.\u2019 Max is making this look easy, and that\u2019s what I plan to do.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
