On Friday last week, Conor McGregor made his first major public appearance since his boxing match with Floyd Mayweather. We didn’t learn much from the man, other than he has options open to pretty much fight anyone he wants to in his UFC return, but we already knew that. Out of the about seven names mentioned<\/a>, Max Holloway was one of them. The “champ champ” took out time to praise Holloway and didn’t rule out a rematch. However, it’d have to be in the 155-pound division.<\/p>\n

“I sonned that young boy. I\u2019m not mad at [Max Holloway].\u00a0He\u2019s done a great job. He\u2019s climbed up and claimed that featherweight belt. You see some fights, and so do the public, you see him go in there and you watch him win or lose and you watch how they act and how they carry on.\u00a0He lost to me and he took it on the chin, he kept his mind frame sharp. Same with [Dustin] Poirier, he\u2019s another guy who kept his mind frame sharp and carried on. [Eddie] Alvarez as well, he took it well \u2013 you\u2019ve got to take it on the f-king chin.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
