Max Holloway is noted as one of the few fighters who has competed against Conor McGregor in a fight [00:00:00].
The Fight Incident
During their bout, McGregor took Holloway down [00:00:03]. Holloway gained a half-guard position and held onto McGregor’s ankle [00:00:05]. As McGregor attempted to pass, Holloway hit his ankle, which resulted in McGregor injuring his knee [00:00:07].
This incident led to McGregor screaming in pain [00:00:10]. From the bottom, Holloway asked if he was okay, to which McGregor responded, “Yeah, yeah, keep fighting” [00:00:14]. Holloway recalls it as a “painful scream” and a funny moment [02:00:14]. He states that a hip movement he performed towards the end of the second round is visible in the footage, and it was after this that McGregor thought he had blown out his knees [02:00:07]. Holloway expressed compassion during the fight, asking McGregor if he was okay [02:02:21].
When asked if McGregor hit hard, Holloway simply laughed [01:09:09].
