Max Holloway is eager to avenge his loss to Conor McGregor as talk heightens of a potential rematch between the pair.
McGregor has not fought since suffering a first round defeat to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 back in 2021. The Dublin fighter's last win inside the cage came in 2020 when he stopped Donald 'Cowboy' Cerrone in under a minute. The former two-division champion had been tipped to return in 2024 but was forced to pull out of a clash with Michael Chandler due to injury.
UFC president Dana White has indicated a July return for McGregor on International Fight Week for UFC 329, saying: "It's looking good. Believe me, once we get a deal done with him, we will announce it."
Holloway, who lost to McGregor via decision in 2013, told Paramount: "I mean we have history. We fought a very long time ago. I told you guys, if somebody's got one over me, I want to get him back. I'd love to get him back."
The Hawaiian added: "He looks hungrier. He looks super hungry. It's a huge fight. Anything with Conor McGregor is huge but having history with the dude, being able to get one back would be cool."
Holloway, however, is yet to hear from the UFC regarding a potential place on the July card, stating: "Maybe, we'll see what happens. I'm seeing all the talk that you guys see. I really didn't hear anything yet but that wouldn't be a bad time."
