Conor McGregor has five 'huge' options if he scores a monumental win over Max Holloway at UFC 329 on Saturday night, according to UFC president Dana White. The former two-division champion ends a five-year hiatus in a welterweight showdown against the former featherweight champion at Las Vegas' Sin City.
Dana White's Scenarios for McGregor Victory
In an interview with The Mac Life, White revealed multiple outcomes for whoever wins the bout. 'Anything is possible if he wins on Saturday night. Whoever wins on Saturday night it's a big win and a big step up in their careers, especially at this point in time. These are two guys who have done it all,' White said.
White added: 'I've got like five scenarios in my head if Conor wins and I've got like three for Max if Max wins. So it's huge for both of them… The thing that I love about the sport is, like, who saw the White House coming? Who knew that would happen?'
McGregor's Return After Injury
McGregor has not fought since breaking his leg in a first-round defeat to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in 2021. His last win inside the Octagon came a year prior against Donald Cerrone. The Irishman maintains he is in his prime and has two fights left on his UFC deal.
At the pre-fight press conference on Thursday, McGregor showed glimpses of his former self, sparking chaotic scenes during the face-off when he grabbed Holloway's glasses and slapped away his hand.
McGregor's Predictions for the Fight
Earlier, McGregor said: 'I predict destruction. I'm going to destroy Max; I'm going to eliminate Max. The final opponent of mine still within the UFC ranks. All of my other opponents are gone. Max is the last one left, and on Saturday night, he gets eliminated for good.'
He added: 'I can destroy Max inside 10 seconds. I have knockouts inside three seconds on my fighting record. I have Hall of Fame fighters, multiple Hall of Fame UFC fighters defeated and destroyed both together and under a minute. And I can add Max to that. However, don't get it twisted. If we go into these deep waters, Max is going to be in a lot of trouble, badly concussed.'
Holloway's Perspective and Fight Details
Holloway, a former featherweight champion, poses a significant challenge. White also has three scenarios for Holloway if he wins. The bout is a welterweight showdown, and McGregor aims to roll back the years against the Hawaiian.
