The Irishman, who outpointed Holloway in 2013, will walk to the cage for the first time since he broke his leg in his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier five years ago.‌But while few know what to expect from McGregor in the cage, his confidence is undimmed as he predicted an early finish. "I can destroy Max inside 10 seconds," he said. "I have knockouts inside three seconds on my fighting record.‌"I have Hall of Fame fighters, multiple Hall of Fame UFC fighters defeated and destroyed both together and under a minute, and I can add Max to that. However, don't get it twisted. If we go into deep waters, Max is going to be in a lot of trouble, he will be badly concussed."McGregor then doubled down on his prediction, backing himsef to send Holloway into retirement. "I'm going to destroy Max," he said "I'm going to eliminate Max. The final opponent of mine still within the UFC ranks.Article continues below"All of my other opponents are gone. Max is the last one left, and on Saturday night, he gets eliminated for good. He must not realise the danger he is in. I forecast Holloway's retirement on Saturday night."Holloway, however, is the favourite ahead of the five-round main event and added: "I can't wait. I think we see the best Conor McGregor come Saturday night and I look forward to it. I'm telling you, it's going to be a long night for Conor McGregor come Saturday night. We're taking him to deep, deep waters."Watch UFC 329: McGregor vs Holloway 2 exclusively live on TNT Sports Box Office via HBO Max, EE TV, Virgin Media TV, Prime Video and Sky.
