McGregor Eyes Holloway Rematch as Final UFC Career Fight

Conor McGregor has declared that his final UFC fight 'has to be' against Max Holloway, signalling his intention to pursue a rematch with the Hawaiian fighter. The statement comes after their previous meeting at UFC 329, where McGregor's participation was cut short due to a serious injury sustained during the contest.

At UFC 329, McGregor tore his right anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and meniscus while attempting a jumping kick, resulting in Holloway being awarded a first-round technical knockout (TKO). The injury proved to be a significant setback for the Irish mixed martial artist, keeping him sidelined from competition.

McGregor's comments suggest he views a potential rematch with Holloway as the appropriate way to conclude his storied UFC career. Such a bout would provide the opportunity to settle unfinished business and potentially secure a victory under circumstances where his previous performance was compromised by injury.

The timeline for any potential McGregor-Holloway rematch remains uncertain, dependent on McGregor's recovery and continued participation in professional mixed martial arts. Holloway, meanwhile, continues his own UFC career following his victory at UFC 329.
