Conor McGregor is an entertaining man. He has been responsible for some of the greatest trash-talk moments in UFC history. His effortless verbosity, quick wit, and willingness to cross all lines make him a dangerous man to duel with verbally. This is part of the reason that the Irishman is the most popular fighter in MMA history.

And it seems that he is a natural entertainer not only out of the cage but in the cage, too. Max Holloway faced another little-known fighter with big aspirations in the featherweight division in 2013- Conor McGregor. McGregor defeated Holloway in his second fight at the UFC via a unanimous decision. And Holloway revealed a funny incident from that fight on Andrew Schulz‘s ‘Flagrant’ podcast.

Max Holloway recalls the time he fought Conor McGregor

Holloway began by saying he did not think Conor McGregor hit hard. The 31-year-old recalled an amusing moment in his fight with the Dubliner.

“In that fight, the funny moment was he took me down and I had him in half guard, and he was passing and I had like, his ankle, and right when he would pass, I like, hit him and that’s how he hurt his knee in the fight,” he said.

He recalled having McGregor in a half-guard and hitting the Irishman’s knee, which prompted a scream from him. Holloway, like a true gentleman, stopped and asked if McGregor was okay and was told to keep fighting by him.

“He hurt his knee and he was screaming like, ‘Ahhh,’ like, a hurtful scream. So I’m like ‘Are you okay? He’s like, ‘Yeah, keep fighting mate,” Holloway told Schulz.

Conor McGregor open to rematch with Max Holloway

Earlier this year, Holloway took to Twitter and asked for a rematch from McGregor. The Hawaiian is a former UFC featherweight champion but has lost three of his last six fights. All three losses came at the hand of reigning champion Alexander Volkanovski.

McGregor responded in a tweet, promising he is never retiring, and they are “defo fighting” in the future. McGregor has seemingly already planned his next three fights. He will fight Michael Chandler next, then Justin Gaethje for the BMF belt followed by a trilogy with Nate Diaz, if all goes to McGregor’s plan.

But, the Dubliner seems in no hurry to hang up the gloves, and a fight with Holloway just might materialize in the future. Would you be interested in a rematch between McGregor and Holloway? Let us know in the comments section below.
