Max Holloway would like to face Conor McGregor, not Ilia Topuria next time out if he had his wish.
Holloway became the BMF champion on Saturday with a highlight-reel fifth-round KO over Justin Gaethje as the Hawaiian moved back up to lightweight. It was an incredible performance from Max Holloway, and after the win, many thought he would be dropping back down to featherweight to face Topuria for the belt.
However, Holloway says he’d rather rematch McGregor than face Topuria for the featherweight title as he knows it’s a much bigger fight.
