ABU DHABI – It seems that Conor McGregor has his eye on all opposition at all times.
During my interview with him for UFC Arabia, McGregor saw a look at Max Holloway skateboarding outside, and he could not help laughing. Of course, the pair share a history, with McGregor defeating Holloway by unanimous decision more than seven years ago.
This is the moment he notices Holloway:
If You Think McGregor Was Wrong, ‘Hiker Holloway’ confirms that it was indeed he.
Holloway, who placed an absolute clinic for a very difficult Calvin Kattar at UFC on ABC 1 this past weekend, plans to stay in Abu Dhabi to serve as a backup for McGregor’s rematch with Dustin Poirier in the main event of the UFC 257 Saturday.
But even if Holloway could not compete then, he certainly got McGregor’s attention, and McGregor said he saw a second chance with Holloway “in the offing.”
