I'm not claiming that this fight will ever happen, or that we will ever see McGregor fight again, but I think this is the most interesting rematch from him. Currently the first McGregor/Holloway fight is the only fight in the UFC between two people who would both go on to become the featherweight champion, and both defeat Jose Aldo.
While I would make the argument Holloway is the more accomplished featherweight, McGregor does currently hold the win over him. What makes a rematch very interesting to me is the fact that Holloway has changed so much as a fighter and now seems to have become the sort of fighter that excels against McGregor, a relentless body snatcher who can make McGregor gas.
While I'm not sure McGregor could ever make featherweight again, I'm interested to hear how you guys think they would match up now, a few years past their original fight. While I think I favor McGregor in the rematch I think that Holloway has shown great improvements, whereas McGregor and his camp don't seem to be learning how to deal with body punches any better.
What are your guys thoughts, and who do you think you'd favour if the two fought again?
