Speculation has been growing that Conor McGregor will fight ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone next, after the pair exchanged messages on social media in the last week. You can read about that here.

It looks like Max Holloway could be trying to put his name in the hat to fight Conor next, after taking a subtle dig at the Irish man. Whilst in McGregor’s hometown of Dublin, Ireland, Holloway claimed Jameson Whiskey to be the number one Irish whiskey in the world.

238 years of innovation, hard work, and unmatched quality. Not a watered down trend. A true pillar of Ireland, supporting the hard working families in Dublin for generations.

McGregor brought out his own whiskey, Proper Twelve, in 2018. Which UFC president Dana White, claimed would make the former UFC double champion a billionaire.

McGregor and Holloway fought in 2013, in the featherweight division. ‘The Notorious’ won via unanimous decision on the night and went on to win the featherweight crown and then the lightweight title. ‘Blessed’ has won thirteen fights straight since and is the current UFC featherweight champion.

It is thought that Holloway will move up to lightweight at some point and many fans have called for a rematch between the two.
