Chael Sonnen believes Conor McGregor's size advantage could be a major factor against Max Holloway: "I saw Conor yesterday... This guy's huge. First off, he's as hard as a rock, and secondly, I'm looking at him, and I said, 'Conor, I fought middleweights my whole life. I didn't fight... show more

Max Holloway says he's known about the Conor McGregor fight for a while and had to keep it secret: "You know how hard it is to keep that fight under wraps for how long we did? We knew that fight for a minute bro. I'm excited, I get to eat what I want to eat boys... imagine I miss weight at 170." (via Max Holloway)

New: Joe Rogan says if Conor McGregor beats Max Holloway at UFC 329 he should fight Justin Gaethje at 170lbs for the BMF title: ROGAN: “We need to see if Conor is able to fight a full 5 rounds against a guy like Max Holloway who has a great gas tank.” DIN THOMAS: “I don’t think he can.” JOHN RALLO: “My concern for Max is that he struggles against bigger dudes and at 170 Conor might just have too much weight for him.” THOMAS: “Dustin Poirier thinks Max might be bigger than Conor.” RALLO: “If Max pulls it off I’d like to see him get a rematch vs Gaethje.” ROGAN: “We know he’s been partying hard, but has he also been training? If he somehow knocks out Max in the first round we’re all the way back.” MATT SERRA: “100%.” ROGAN: “Conor McGregor vs Justin Gaethje fighting for the BMF title at 170lbs would be the biggest fight in the known universe.”

Shakur Stevenson was 'very bored' with Conor Benn's performance over Regis Prograis: "I've been told y'all I'm better than him. I've been told y'all he's not on my level. I've been told y'all that his skills is not up to par with mine. Like I said, if he's ready to fight, tell him to stop going on social media and making up lies, saying that I said, 'Oh, I won't fight that weight class.' I said I will. I said, with a rehydration clause, because he did it to Eubank. He's not on my level. I've been said this, and I will beat the holy sh*t out of Conor Benn."

.Caio Borralho on Nassourdine Imavov turning down a fight against him: "I said yes right away. I didn't even give any time to talk with my team. We were waiting for him to respond and then I heard that he said no, that he doesn't want to fight... That I need to face a top 5 guy first, but he's a top 5 guy. It doesn't make sense what he's saying. I just think that he knows that's the hardest fight for him in the division, and he doesn't want to take the risk."

Dustin Poirier shuts down conspiracies that Conor McGregor came into the fight injured and quit against Max Holloway "I just don't think he's a quitter like that. I say a lot of bad stuff about him, but a quitter, I'm not sure. He's a real competitor and wants to win. And I doubt he needed the money... it's not like he was showing up for a paycheck."

Max Holloway lays out his options for what’s next: Islam Makhachev, Justin Gaethje or a Conor McGregor trilogy. "If it's a title shot at some type of weight class, it's great. The 170 champ's team doesn't like what I said. I got history with the 155-pound champ, and probably he wants to get down back. If it's a Conor McGregor fight again, I sign the dotted line."

Terence Crawford fires back at Ilia Topuria: "When he saw me at the UFC and came up to shake my hand and said what's up to me... I didn't even know who he was. Then I see him online talking about how he'll knock me out in the first round... That's fake. I'm not gonna go hide behind the keyboard. I definitely think he's trying to clout chase... He's not nowhere near on the level of Conor McGregor, let's be real. Stop it. Don't ever compare him to Conor. Like I said, I don't know this guy. I've never seen this guy fight."

"I've never seen a Conor McGregor like this, more focused than I ever thought he could get. Better than he was when he was in his prime... He's training his ass off each and every day. He's eating right. He's going to church. He's doing everything he's supposed to do. This is not a Conor McGregor that we've seen in the past couple of years." David Feldman on Conor McGregor's return to MMA.

Ilia Topuria lays out his two-fight plan of fighting Max Holloway followed by Conor McGregor. He also says Islam Makhachev is not on his "list". "I hope to defend the belt with Max Holloway, and then I wanna fight with Conor McGregor... it's gonna be the biggest fight in MMA history... Maybe [I could fight Islam] in the future. Right now I just see the Max Holloway fight, the Conor fight. Maybe if [Islam] keeps defending the belt and he keeps becoming bigger and bigger, maybe one day we can see that fight too. But for the moment he's not in my list." 🎥 Sportskeeda MMA #UFC #MMA

"[Conor] is angry about Max saying he was gonna drag him into deep waters. That offended Conor McGregor. Conor said, 'I'm not saying I won't get tired. I'm human. We get tired. You think you can push me to a limit where I'll quit?' It upset him." Chael Sonnen on Conor McGregor's mentality heading into UFC 329.

WEVERSE OFFLINE FANSIGN #HEESEUNG I was so shy at this point and need a minute to breathe and was even out of breath when HEESEUNG said "Noona" when I introduced myself. First I said thank you for producing Highway 1009, and I was surprised when he said "Thank you, thank you for saying that" and "I'm so happy you said that" I said of course, we're all looking forward to your work and he was so excited to say "I'm actually preparing for it" and he was confident to say while it's his first time, he's "not nervous or anything and is actually enjoying [the process]." He also kept repeating that he's excited. Also I told him it was my first time and I'm glad to talk to him. (INTERNALLY SCREAMING) He grabbed my hand before I went haha ENHYPEN OFFICIAL #ENHYPEN

💥 Max Holloway does not care that the Conor McGregor fight is at 170 pounds. "My thoughts on the fight being at 170 were: who cares? Real gladiators back in the day didn't walk around with a scale — you showed up, and you fought. I'm a fighter, and that's what I do. Open weight class, whatever weight class." via: Max Holloway

Sturm on Steeves who has 5 goals in the last 5 games: "I brought him up from the minors and I put him in more like a checking role and a fourth liner, and now look at him. So, good for him and again, he's a guy I trust. We'll see, it's tough to get him out of the lineup, I can tell you that." "He's very professional, even when he didn't like to go down. I remember he said, 'I will be back and I'm going to do everything I can to show you,' and that's what I like. And the way he said it, I believed it."

I think it's just a matter of 'is he physically able to do so?' ... I've been around this dude for the past four years. I know what he's about. I know that he practices what he preaches. If he's able to go out there and play and practice, then he will do so. He's a warrior and I respect him." MA: "You gotta give a lot of credit to him and what he's been through all throughout his career. The type of scrutiny he's faced and to be able to be where he's at. ... He's a fighter and he's gonna continue to fight for this organization. Everybody in this organization has trust in Lamar, man. I'm excited to take the field with him this week. We're gonna fight our butts off." via Baltimore Ravens

Conor Benn hasn't accomplished anywhere near what I've accomplished... and I'm younger than Conor Benn. He hasn't done anything in the sport of boxing. His biggest win is against a weight-drained guy, and he had to rematch him to get a win... That's the biggest win of his career... I love Chris Eubank, but he was never even a world champion."

"I would love to see Conor come back because I feel that if he was at 100% we would be able to bring Khabib back. He would just need one fight, knock the guy out, and then the whole world will be talking to Khabib and getting him to come back. I know that fight bothers Conor because he didn't train at all for that fight. Twice a week he was training for Khabib... He was in the wrong mindset. He was in a party mindset. When I saw the fight, I was like, oh my God, if only you trained 4 times a week you probably would have beaten him." Imagine the Conor that fought the Eddie Alvarez, you know. That's what I want to see." - Artem Lobov
