Max Holloway isn't just waiting around—he's already back in the gym, sharpening his skills for what could be the biggest fight of his career. The former featherweight king is setting his sights on a long-awaited rematch with Conor McGregor, and the MMA world is buzzing with anticipation.

After suffering a tough loss to Charles Oliveira in their BMF title fight at UFC 326, Holloway is wasting no time getting back on track. But this isn't just about redemption—it's about settling old scores. "If somebody got one on me, I want to get them back," Holloway said, his determination clear. "I'd love to get him back."

The Hawaiian warrior has already started his revenge tour, retiring Dustin Poirier last July. Now, he's got his sights set on the biggest name in the sport. McGregor, who hasn't competed in MMA since his loss to Poirier five years ago, recently stepped back into the ring for a three-round boxing exhibition in Dublin. While it wasn't a full MMA return, it was enough to catch Holloway's attention.

"He looks super hungry. He just did a boxing exhibition not too long ago, so it was pretty cool to see him," Holloway noted. "I know it's a huge fight. It's a big fight any time with Conor McGregor."

Rumors are swirling that this potential blockbuster could headline UFC International Fight Week, with UFC 329 in Las Vegas on July 11 as a possible date. While nothing is signed yet, Holloway confirmed he's preparing for McGregor and has a preferred timeline in mind. "I'm seeing all the talk that you guys see," he said. "You're only as good as your last fight, they say. We gotta get everybody forgetting about the last fight as soon as possible."

For Holloway, this isn't just about avenging a loss—it's about proving he belongs at the top of the sport's food chain. With his relentless work ethic and warrior spirit, the "Blessed" express is rolling full steam ahead toward what could be the most electrifying fight of 2026.
