Conor McGregor has taken another shot at Max Holloway ahead of their UFC 329 rematch, dismissing the Hawaiian’s training work with Jack Della Maddalena.
McGregor is set to return against Holloway in a massive welterweight clash at UFC 329 on July 11. The matchup comes more than a decade after their first meeting in 2013, where McGregor defeated Holloway by unanimous decision.
Now, with Holloway preparing for the rematch alongside former UFC welterweight champion Jack Della Maddalena, McGregor has made it clear that he is not impressed.
Conor McGregor Dismisses Max Holloway’s Training With Jack Della Maddalena
Reacting to Max Holloway’s training with JDM, Conor McGregor mocked the sessions and claimed they would not be enough for what he plans to bring inside the Octagon. ‘The Notorious’ said:
“That’s not gonna cut it. I’ve seen the little Pity Pat Mickey Mouse Club training. It’s not going to cut it for the ferocity that will be before him in the octagon. Both can get it.”
Check out Conor McGregor’s comments below:
The comment adds another sharp layer to the build-up between two of the most recognisable names in the sport. McGregor enters the fight with a 22-6 professional record and will be competing for the first time in years following his long layoff.
Holloway, meanwhile, holds a 27-9 record and has remained one of the most active elite fighters in UFC history. ‘Blessed’ also sits near the top of several all-time UFC statistical categories, including total significant strikes landed and total fight time.
The JDM training angle is significant because Holloway is moving into a welterweight clash against a fighter known for precision, timing, and power. Working with a high-level 170-pound striker gives Holloway a direct look at the speed and physicality of the division.
McGregor, however, clearly believes Holloway’s preparation will not match the intensity he is bringing back to the cage.
With UFC 329 approaching, the rivalry is beginning to heat up again. Holloway is chasing revenge after losing their first fight, while McGregor is looking to prove that his power, pressure, and timing still translate after years away from competition.
