I was actually doing an interview and he skateboarded by the window. I was like, \u2018Is that Max Holloway?\u2019 He\u2019s obviously hanging around, and fair play to him. He\u2019s definitely in the pipeline for a bout against me. I would happily rematch Max, and after a performance like that, he\u2019s put himself right up there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s a tall lad,\u201d McGregor added, clarifying that a Holloway rematch would have to occur at lightweight, rather than featherweight. \u201cHe\u2019s taller than me, so he could build up. He\u2019s only fought at 155 once. It was against Dustin. He was a bit out-powered, but he could certainly do it. Against other lightweights? You never know. But the rematch would be 155, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the midst of his lopsided win over Kattar, Holloway proclaimed himself the best boxer in the UFC. McGregor, who has actually competed as a professional boxer before, begs to differ, and plans to remind MMA fans of his proficiency in the Sweet Science when he fights Poirier.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s not the best boxer,\u201d McGregor said of Holloway. \u201cIt\u2019s no question, and I\u2019ll prove that on (Saturday).
