Max Holloway is already preparing for his next fight after his win at UFC 300. ‘Blessed’ knocked out Justin Gathje in the final round to win the BMF title earlier today. Now, he is all set to take on anyone in the promotion. In his recent press conference, he mentioned Dustin Poirier, with whom he has some history.

He even called out Conor McGregor and showed his interest in fighting him next. However, the former two-division champion ignored the call out in his own fashion.

Conor McGregor answers Max Holloway’s call-out in his recent post

‘The Notorious’ one took to his X account to answer Holloway. Known for his aggressive responses, McGregor this time just wrote two words, “Congrats Max!’. The Dubliner even took out time to mock the current light heavyweight champion, Alex Pereira.

The 35-year-old commented on the picture of Alex Pereira on his X account with a caption that read, “Mr potato head”. The post came after Alex Pereira showed his interest in making a move to the heavyweight division. With McGregor finally making a comeback, it will be interesting to see whether he fights Holloway in the future.
