Max Holloway trolls Conor McGregor after his win over Yair Rodriguez
Shortly after his win at UFC Vegas 42, Max Holloway took to Twitter to troll Conor McGregor.
The former UFC featherweight champion highlighted a now-infamous Conor McGregor quote. Before his third fight with Dustin Poirier, McGregor revealed he only counts knockouts as legitimate victories in mixed martial arts.
Going by that logic, the Irishman claimed that he has 19 wins and one loss on his record. Speaking to ESPN's Stephen A. Smith ahead of UFC 264, McGregor said:
βMy record [in MMA] is 19 wins and one loss. I only count knockouts. The only thing thatβs final in this business is a knockout... The decisions, the taps, all that s**t means nothing to me.β

In response to McGregor, Max Holloway decided to troll his former opponent by sending out a simple tweet that read, 'Undefeated'. In doing so, the former UFC featherweight champion suggested that he is still undefeated, courtesy of McGregor's logic.

There is currently no indication of what the UFC has planned for Holloway going forward. McGregor's name has been thrown into the mix as a potential future opponent for 'Blessed'.
The two men previously collided with one another back in 2013 when 'The Notorious' defeated Max Holloway via decision in a fight that occurred at featherweight.

In his return fight, 'El Pantera' looked better than many had assumed he would and caused a lot of trouble for Holloway during several stages of the fight. However, a resilient Holloway maintained his composure throughout the fight and eventually walked out with the win via unanimous decision.
With the win, it now remains to be seen if Max Holloway will face Alexander Volkanovski for the third time or not.
