Conor McGregor and Max Holloway first met inside the octagon in 2013, when “The Notorious” earned a unanimous decision victory despite tearing his ACL during the fight.
Now, Holloway, the former BMF and featherweight champion who hails himself the best boxer in the UFC, is set to make his welterweight debut against McGregor, who has been sidelined for nearly five years and is also on a two-fight losing skid.
Holloway, on the other hand, most recently lost his BMF strap to Charles Oliveira in a rematch.
Earlier today, McGregor also posted a picture of him pushing Holloway’s face during their first outing, with the following caption:
“You’re gonna put respect on my motherf*cking name.”
Meanwhile, Holloway shared a clip of his first encounter with McGregor, where he briefly knocked the Irishman down with a head kick. “Blessed” captioned the post:
“Nah, big dog you gonna put some respect on my name.”
