"Again, like I said last week to everybody who was at my office, who knows if Conor is even going to fight again? I'm rolling like he's not. So yeah, if Conor comes back and defends the title and, you know, anything is possible."https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/936316315354189826 Of course, Holloway was forced to field the inevitable McGregor question when he took to the stage. Ever the champion, he emphasised his priorities right now were at 145 lbs, but if the UFC wanted him to rematch McGregor, he would do so with no hesitation.
"Yeah, for sure. Like I said, I'm the champion of my division and I've got to keep everything rolling. I've got to keep everything going. I've got a throne to defend. I'm not going on hiatus. As long as I get contenders, I'm going to fight." "But if the UFC call me out for that reason, any reason for fighting him, I'll gladly fight him. If the Conor fight don't happen, it's not on my side. I'll tell you guys right now. It's not on my side.

"Their team is talking about me all the time, talking about how I'm the best guy in the world blah blah and this and that. Right now, Conor - now, really think about this - right now Conor is talking about fighting Paulie Malignaggi in MMA. Let that sink in, you know. Paulie Malignaggi in MMA! I don't know what to say."
