Conor McGregor was clearly in a sort of nostalgic mood when he pumped up the Boston Bruins before their NHL game last night. After doing so, he took to social media to remind Max Holloway about his victory over him almost six years ago. Now it’s time Holloway destroys that flimsy callout, however.

McGregor got the ball rolling by posting two pictures of a 21-year-old Holloway from their fight in August 2013, one during the bout and one after he lost to McGregor:

Holloway wasn’t having it, though, calling out McGregor for attempting to “relive his best years in Boston.” He reminded McGregor that he was only 21 for that fight, and also what he has now become:

Holloway brought up the fact that the recently retired Dennis Bermudez also beat him that summer as well:

So beating the 21-year-old version of ‘Blessed’ was a small trophy on its own. Holloway then pointed out the many better trophies he shares with no one else because of his recent record of accomplishments:

Holloway seemed to be incredibly fired up as a result of McGregor’s latest callout. He closed by offering his view that he would also beat the 21-year-old Holloway due to his noted improvement.

Holloway claimed he would have finished his younger self. He also wouldn’t have torn his ACL as McGregor did as a result:

The gloves seem to be off between these two former and perhaps current rivals. McGregor has hinted at a return this July. Holloway, meanwhile, will face Dustin Poirier for the interim title in the main event of April 13’s UFC 236.
