This fight shows Mcgregor didn’t have any conditioning issues at 145. We talking Max Holloway. Not till he moved up significantly in weight did that become an issue. 145 Conor was the most spectacular fighter I’ve ever seen.

This is why Conor fans says he is the FW GOAT yeah Conor defeated undefeated Aldo in seconds and also defeated Chad mendes huge respect for that but this is really the worst version of Max holloway be honest the rematch would have gone either way Max was just 21 years old he became better in later years and again respect for Conor though 👏✨️and not to mention that Conor didn't defend his title.
