Max Holloway open to Conor McGregor’s terms for rematch fight: ‘Sign me up’

After his brief social media message following the fight, Max Holloway shared more of his thoughts on the aftermath of UFC 326 in a video posted to his YouTube channel.

‘Blessed’ mentioned that there are a few things he needs to take care of before reaching out to the UFC about booking another fight.

He didn’t commit to any specific opponent but did mention that a rematch with Conor McGregor interests him, no matter which division it happens in.

“I mean, Conor’s there, you know. Conor’s got one over me,” he said. “He’s talking about coming back. I’m coming off of a loss, I mean it would look pretty fun to get that one back with him.

“So, we’ll see what happens. I know a lot of people are worried about the weight and this and that but if he doesn’t want to cut weight, then I don’t want to cut weight,” Holloway continued. “We can do it at any weight to be honest. It’s just about getting it back.”

The two first met in 2013, with McGregor winning by unanimous decision early in his UFC career. Before UFC 326, McGregor had hinted that he could face the winner of the BMF title bout based on conversations with those around him in the promotion.

Certainly, given their history and fighting styles – not to mention OliveIra isn’t as much of a draw as Max – this would be a far better fit for ‘The Notorious.’

“Sign me up man,” Holloway said. “If 155 is kind of busy right now, we don’t know who to pick, I know Conor keeps talking about coming back. That’d be a fun fight. That fight really excites me and weight wouldn’t be an issue.”

Max Holloway and Conor McGregor’s timelines could clash

Conor McGregor mentioned International Fight Week as a more likely return date, especially after the UFC White House card was announced.

In his video, Max Holloway explained that he needs to complete all his medical procedures before even thinking about another training camp.

Holloway also said he plans to fight again in 2026 but has other obligations to handle before focusing fully on training.

“I got a bunch of work things I actually have to do outside of fighting,” he said. “After that, take a little vacay and then wait for news like I said from my team”, he concluded.
