Conor McGregor questions the legitimacy of UFC 326’s BMF title showdown

We all know that McGregor has had his fair share of issues outside of the cage, but he’s still a big part of the mixed martial arts world, with the expectation being that he could make his return at the UFC White House card this summer.

In a recent back and forth with UFC on social media, McGregor had some interesting thoughts on the clash between Holloway and Oliveira.

McGregor’s view on BMF title fight

“Hello UFC!

“It is a great matchup, Holloway vs. Oliveira! I am very much looking forward to it!

“It is always exciting for me to see fighters rematch. It takes great courage and honour to do so and I always respect it.

“Their last time out it seemed Holloway broke Charles early in the fight and it was then stopped. It was hard to tell whether it was a genuine injury or a caused one. I see a real good fight but with a similar outcome [to be honest]. I think Max is light on his feet and can pop Charles and begin to break him again. It is a different Charles however, so we will see.

“I don’t feel the BMF title is accurate here also with both men suffering in the sauna to make the limit. There is zero BMF about this. For me vs. either opponent next I feel supremely confident. I stop both men in their tracks. I am a bad man with a good heart, so I may add the BMF belt to my collection.

“Good luck with the event!”
