McGregor Calls Out Holloway For UFC 329 Rematch
Conor McGregor wants another crack at Max Holloway, disputing the July injury stoppage that gave Holloway a first-round technical knockout at UFC 329.
The former two-division champion addressed reporters after BKFC's Glasgow event and blamed Holloway for the abbreviated finish. McGregor claimed his opponent backed away from exchanges and personally requested the referee halt the contest when McGregor's knee buckled.
McGregor Says He Could Have Fought On One Leg
"It has to be Holloway," McGregor told the media, per Sherdog. The Irishman insisted he would have prevailed despite the damaged knee had the bout continued.
McGregor framed Holloway as unwilling to engage and said the outcome continues to frustrate him months later. The two first met in 2013, when McGregor won by decision before both later captured UFC gold in separate weight classes.
No timeline has emerged for McGregor's next UFC appearance. Holloway holds a recent knockout victory over Justin Gaethje at lightweight and has not publicly responded to the call-out.
