Conor McGregor says there is only one man he wants to fight before he's done with the UFC, and it's Max Holloway. Speaking at the BKFC 96 post-fight press conference, McGregor made clear he wants a third meeting with Holloway to close out his contract, which has just one fight left on it. The pair met this past July at UFC 329, where Holloway finished McGregor by knockout in the first round at 1:09. That result sits on McGregor's record as his most recent UFC outing, and it's clearly still on his mind. He wants the rematch redone, and he wants it soon. 'What's it now? November? Three months I am over surgery. I done this injury before and returned within nine months. So nine months is pre-summer. I just wanna go again and again,' he said. That would put a realistic return somewhere around next summer if he follows the same recovery arc. Holloway, for his part, is in no danger of sitting idle waiting on McGregor to get healthy. He's currently ranked fourth at lightweight, and our Elo model has him rated 1565 across seven tracked bouts, numbers that reflect a fighter squarely in title contention rather than someone who needs a rubber match to stay relevant. Still, McGregor seems fixated on getting his hand raised in a decider, and framing it as the final fight of his UFC run adds weight to the ask. Whether the promotion or Holloway himself have any interest in running it back a third time is a separate question entirely. The clip of McGregor's comments has already made its way to r/MMA, where fans are chewing over whether the trilogy actually happens or whether this is just McGregor talking at a microphone again.
