Holloway expressed his reluctance to agree to a fight with Aldo based on the Brazilian’s history of pulling out at the last minute. “I don’t want to give up my son’s birthday and Christmas for February 11, and he don’t show up,” Holloway said. “This guy has a knack for not showing up to the fights.”
He also commented on the status of the Featherweight Division and his thoughts regarding former Featherweight Champion Conor McGregor. “Conor’s coach said I’m the best 145-er in the world, and Jose is saying he wants to retire, un-retire, then he gets the belt, and then he wants to go up a weight class,” he said. “I don’t know. Most true fans know the storylines, and most true fans said this should be for the belt. I ain’t over here begging for fights. If (McGregor) wants to fight me, he can come fight me. You’ve got so many guys begging on their knees to fight him. If he wants to fight me, he can come see me. If you want to fight the best, you come fight ‘Blessed’.”
