Max Holloway has responded to Conor McGregor following the Irish stars remarks insinuating that the Hawaiian is simply an interim title holder.<\/p>\n

The former two-division UFC champion, McGregor, took to Twitter earlier this morning where he attacked ‘Blessed’ with the following post.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe \u2018interim champ champ\u2019 was just a step to far \u2013 Interim FW champ\u201d<\/em> \u2013 Conor Mcgregor<\/p>\n

McGregor’s comments<\/a> obviosuly stemmed from Max Holloway’s recent loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 236 in Atlanta.<\/p>\n

‘Mystic Mac’ would later delete the post from social media, but not before Holloway caught wind of the insult.<\/p>\n

‘Blessed’ responded to Conor McGregor with the following message.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/twitter.com\/BlessedMMA\/status\/1127391729613565953<\/p>\n

“I’ll leave this right here. Don’t delete your tweets my bratha. I can take it. #keepthatsameenergy”<\/em> – Max Holloway<\/p>\n

Max Holloway and Conor McGregor collided inside the octagon way back in 2013, with the Irishman emerging victorious by way of unanimous decision.<\/p>\n

McGregor would go on to capture both the UFC<\/a>‘s featherweight and lightweight titles by knocking out both Jose Aldo and Eddie Alvarez.<\/p>\n

Conor would later vacate his 145-pound title due to inactivity.<\/p>\n

That vacant championship was later scooped up by Holloway in 2016, this after Max defeated Anthony Pettis via TKO.<\/p>\n

Conor McGregor has not stepped foot inside the octagon since suffering a submission loss to reigning lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov this past October at UFC 229.<\/p>\n
