5 Must-See Fights For Conor McGregor After UFC 257

3. Max Holloway

After his epic beatdown of Calvin Kattar and the fact that both men have history with each other, it's inevitable that Max Holloway's name will be mentioned as a possible challenger for McGregor following the loss to Poirier.

There are a lot of similarities between Holloway and McGregor which make this an extremely intriguing scrap. Both have stated that they're interested in a rematch and are still in the prime of their careers, despite already being future UFC Hall of Famers. Holloway has also gone up several levels since they competed back in 2013. So, much like McGregor's bout against Poirier, you'll have a rude awakening if you think a second bout looks similar.

Whether or not Holloway's claims of being the "best boxer in the UFC" are true, the striking on show between he and McGregor would be something special. Just the thought of a volume heavy Max Holloway doing battle with the striking sniper that is Conor McGregor is enough to get any MMA fan excited.
