Conor McGregor Demands Trilogy Fight With Max Holloway

Published

The story

Conor McGregor expressed a strong desire to face Max Holloway during his planned return at International Fight Week in 2026. The 38-year-old is currently recovering from surgery after suffering a meniscus and ACL tear in his right knee during their UFC 329 bout earlier this year, which resulted in a TKO loss after 69 seconds.

During a BKFC 96 press conference, McGregor criticized Holloway for his performance in their rematch and the circumstances surrounding the stoppage. Despite the previous injury, the Irishman remains confident in his ability to compete against the Hawaiian and is demanding a trilogy to settle the score.
