Conor McGregor vs Max Holloway: FULL UFC 329 Pre-Fight Press Conference
"Max copied my entire game, along with Max. You know, Max added some shots of mine, even the carrying of his nation's flag. I didn't see that before. So there's a lot of that."
In a controversial claim, McGregor accused Max Holloway of imitating his fighting style and tradition of carrying national flags after their first encounter. McGregor defeated Holloway in 2013 early in both fighters' careers. The accusation suggests McGregor believes Holloway's subsequent championship success was built on copying McGregor's blueprint.
