“Like I said before, I’m going say it again. That guy was the 2015 champ. He can go run around whatever he at with the belt and celebrate because guess what, you cannot take it away from me. This is called the year 2017 right now, he's the 2015 champ and I’m the champ. If he wants to come back down, he can come and get it. But if not, it is what it is.”Both Holloway and McGregor were injured when they threw down at UFC Fight Night 26. A 25-year-old McGregor with a torn ACL, an injury which forced him to sit on the sidelines for 10 months, comprehensively defeated a 21-year-old Holloway with a foot injury to a unanimous decision. Holloway won't be looking for that win back though, as he looks toward building a legacy.
https://twitter.com/UFCEurope/status/871271710963646464 Holloway's no fool, he sees every fighter 30+ lbs either side of McGregor trying their best to secure a red panty night. There's a long queue to fight the Irishman, and they may not even be rewarded for getting in line if the Mayweather fight goes ahead.“He’s a guy who is always looking over the fence, always trying to look for the next great thing or whatever. Demetrious Johnson, he finds this motivation to keep defending. It takes a special human being to do that, and that’s me. I want to defend my throne. I want my fans to know and love me because I want to defend this. I want to show I’m the champ."
Considering how many top-level fighters Holloway has beaten inside the Octagon, he doesn't feel the need to ask for any fight in particular. He's the king at the top of the mountain, it's up to the rest of the fighters in the division to earn their chance to claim his throne.“Come try to take over my village — off with your head, that’s what I’m going to do. This guy is over here just always trying to look for the bigger thing, and that’s him. Good for him. At the end of the day, I’m not going to chase him around.
“I’m not going to talk about someone who isn’t talking about me. He gets to choose his fights, why will I cry or beg him to fight me? Get the hell out of here with that shit. He should beg to fight me now, dog.”
“I’m coming to the point where people are going to ask me to fight. I ain’t asking anyone to fight. I’ve got my throne. If he wants it, come see me.”
