CONOR MCGREGOR is reportedly keen to rematch his former featherweight rival Max Holloway for his comeback fight.
Eight years ago, fan favorites locked horns when the pair were both 145-pounders trying to make their mark in this division.
Conor McGregor was a keen watcher of Max Holloway's UFC Vegas 42 match with Yair Rod
the centre of the Octagon.
McGregor beat the Hawaiian in Boston, but McGregor has been longing for another showdown.
The Irishman, just moments after Holloway's UFC Vegas 32 victory over Yair Rodriguez, made it clear that he wanted Blessed to be his next fight.
McGregor uploaded a video shortly after the announcement of the winner of their epic main event. He was pacing as Joe Martinez introduced Holloway.
The Irishman, who appeared to be wearing tracksuit bottoms and was topless, jawed down at the television while he moved from side to side.
MMA fans quickly commented on the clip. One said: "Damn, Max Holloway's sight really had Conor McGregor pacing around the room.
Another stated, "Conor McGregor must face Max Holloway 2. Imagine how crazy that would be.
Another said, "I'll pay $99 to see @TheNotoriousMMA vs. @BlessedMMA fight @danawhite." I'll even preorder it.
One commented, "This is how I'm watching the fights also."
Another commentator said: "Last fight, Max was a young buck. Now it's a different story.
"Run it back. Respect them both and love them.
One was shocked by McGregor's muscular build and asked Conor: "Conor looking swole lately." What have you been eating?
McGregor took aim against his featherweight foe before his Sin City match with Rodriguez. He blasted his claim that he is the best boxer at the UFC.
He tweeted hours before the fight: "Hey Twitter!"
Tonight's competition will be for the fighter who has taken in the most head strikes during @ufc history. Max Holloway. I can't wait for you to see it.
"Best boxer my A** Crack. These guys have been smacked with the most smacks ever in UFC history!
"Most shots taken is not the best boxer guys, I'm sorry and I love this kid."
McGregor, 33 years old, is currently recuperating from the severe broken leg he sustained in his UFC 264 Trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier.
Holloway claimed that he was on the "shortlist" to welcome Rodriguez back to the octagon, prior to his dominating performance over Rodriguez.
He said to TMZ, "I have 5 title fight wins. 5 titles fight wins. That 6th title fight win is what I want.
"And, if Alex can do it, so be it.
"But, UFC discussed with me a lot of things, lots of possibilities, at the end. I won the fight against the 155 champs in their division.
"I'm on the Conor McGregor shortlist. It's always on the shortlist for that fight. I am the best boxer in UFC."
