Max Holloway Wins Rematch, Eyes Title Shot Against Justin Gaethje
Max Holloway is set to face Conor McGregor at UFC 329 on July 11.
Holloway's win could lead to a title shot at lightweight against Justin Gaethje.
Holloway knocked out Gaethje in the last second of their UFC 300 main event.
Gaethje has since rebounded with three-straight wins, including a massive upset to dethrone Ilia Topuria at UFC Freedom 250.
Michael Chiesa, a UFC analyst, thinks a win over McGregor could lead to a title shot for Holloway.
Chiesa said: "There is a world where Max Holloway beats Conor McGregor and fights Justin Gaethje next."
There's a heaping load of pressure on Holloway's shoulders due to McGregor's comeback from a five-year layoff and a gruesome leg break.
Chiesa highlighted that no one is really talking about Max, despite being a superstar and the A-side of the fight.
Holloway's fight against McGregor is at welterweight, but a win could still lead to a title shot at lightweight.
McGregor remains the sport's biggest star, and a win over him would be a significant upset.
The fight is scheduled to take place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on July 11, and will be available on Paramount+.
Holloway's current record stands at 27-9 MMA, 23-9 UFC, while McGregor's record is 22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC.
Chiesa believes that if Holloway beats McGregor, he would be in a three-man race with Charles Oliveira and Arman Tsarukyan to fight Gaethje next.
Gaethje has expressed interest in a rematch with Holloway, who knocked him out at UFC 300.
The UFC 329 event is highly anticipated, with many fans eager to see the rematch between Holloway and McGregor.
The outcome of the fight will have significant implications for the lightweight division, and could potentially lead to a title shot for Holloway.
Holloway's training and preparation for the fight have been intense, with a focus on his conditioning and strategy.
His team is confident that he has what it takes to beat McGregor and move on to a title shot.
The stage is set for an exciting fight at UFC 329, with Max Holloway looking to prove himself as a top contender in the lightweight division.
