Everyone wants a piece of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fighter Conor McGregor and seeing how he carries on with his bellyaching and trash talk, such does not come as a surprise.
Of course, one of those people in mind is one whom he will face at UFC 194 — Jose Aldo. Aside from Aldo, there is also Chad Mendes whom he defeated at UFC 189. How about another fighter in Max Holloway who lost to McGregor via unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night 26?
To most, that fight will most likely be something hard to recall. However, it was a pretty brutal one. Both fighters really tore each other apart, both ending up with injuries.
Holloway has since been in the background but he has been quietly doing pretty well. In fact, he is riding on a seven-fight winning streak, six of them on stoppages. But has the UFC taken notice?
Holloway knows that he has to line himself up against The Notorious. McGregor is one of the big names right now in the featherweight division and much of the names in mention include McGregor, Aldo, Mendes, and maybe perhaps Frankie Edgar.
To get the attention of the UFC top brass, the Mexican knows that he has to do something to gain attention. Holloway will also be at UFC 194, the same event wherein McGregor will square off with Aldo. He will face the 12th ranked Jeremy Stephens and a win could improve his chances of being included in the pool of fighters whom McGregor could face in the future.
Holloway has to defeat Stephens first; the same goes for McGregor with Aldo. If both come out victorious, a match could be set at the Croke Park GAA Stadium in Dublin.
Whatever comes out of UFC 194, one thing is certain; Holloway wants a rematch on the brash-talking Irishman. And hopefully, with an impressive display, the UFC will grant him that wish.
