Will there be McGregor vs. Holloway 2?

McGregor and Holloway met eight years ago, on August 17, 2013, at UFC Fight Night: Shogun vs. Sonnen. The ‘Notorious’ one claimed a unanimous decision victory on his way to capturing the UFC featherweight title against Jose Aldo.

Meanwhile, Holloway bounced back from his loss against McGregor, en route to capturing the UFC featherweight title against Jose Aldo.

The pair have often gone back-and-forth taking a dig at each other. However a long shot it may be, there is always a chance of Holloway and McGregor facing each other inside the octagon once again. Furthermore, it will be one of the most exciting rematches in UFC if it ever comes to fruition.
