Conor McGregor 'Never Retiring,' Says He's Open to UFC Rematch with Max Holloway

Former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion Conor McGregor has announced his retirement in the past and teased it on other occasions, but the Irishman insisted Friday that he will never retire from MMA.

Responding to a tweet about Max Holloway wanting a rematch with him, McGregor dropped the line about never retiring and said he will "defo" fight Holloway again:

Conor McGregor

I'm never retiring so we defo fighting, lad. <a href="https://t.co/mmIyLcoP4B">https://t.co/mmIyLcoP4B</a>

McGregor faced Holloway in only his second fight under the UFC banner in 2013, beating Holloway by unanimous decision to improve to 14-2 in his career.
