Max Holloway is searching for his next opponent after a UFC 326 loss to Charles Oliveira this month, and Conor McGregor is the name that keeps coming to mind.

After losing the BMF belt to Oliveira in their rematch more than 10 years in the making, Holloway (27-9 MMA, 23-9 UFC) is looking at running another fight back against McGregor (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC), who beat him by unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night 26 in August 2013.

With McGregor teasing an octagon return at UFC 330 on July 11, which marks the promotion’s annual International Fight Week celebrations at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, “Blessed” thinks now is the time to make it happen.

“It’s looking real busy at the top, so we’ll see what happens,” Holloway said on his YouTube channel. “Not sure what guys they want to send my way, but like I said, before the fight I was talking about it: Conor’s there. Conor’s got one over me. He’s talking about coming back. I’m coming off a loss. It looks pretty fun to get that one back with him. We’ll see what happens.”

The pair initially fought in a featherweight bout, with McGregor, 37, using his grappling to stifle Holloway, 34, and win on the scorecards after suffering a knee injury early in the contest.

Both men have gone on to compete at lightweight, but more recently, McGregor has competed at welterweight and expressed little desire to cut weight down beyond that if he returns to competition for the first time since he broke his leg in his July 2021 trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier.

Although Holloway has never competed at 170 pounds before, he seemingly has no issue if the bout would require him to jump up another weight class. For him, the priority is revenge.

“I know a lot of people worry about the weight and this and that, but if he doesn’t want to cut weight, then I don’t want to cut weight,” Holloway said. “We can do it at any weight, to be honest. It’s just about getting it back. At the end of the day, that would be a fun fight. But we’ll see what happens. We’ll see what way the UFC wants to go and that’s all we can do.

“I’ve got a bunch of things I need to talk to my team, my family members and with my doctors, too. But we’re figuring all that out. Sign me up, man. If ’55 is kind of busy right now and we don’t know who to pick, I know Conor keeps talking about coming back. That’d be a fun fight. That fight really excites me and weight wouldn’t be an issue.”
