It has been a little of controversial considering the Royal Rumble entries. The Fans wondered why Superstars on RAW and SmackDown were able to “declare” themselves to be in the Royal Rumble match, which some has to battle to get the entry.## It all popped up with AJ Styles getting victory over Ricochet which as well prevented him from being in the 2021 Royal Rumble match.## Since there are more popped-up controversies, Adam Pearce took to his Twitter, and made a brie explanation to the process, "It’s actually pretty simple: Those that have been granted the ability to simply declare entry into the Royal Rumble *by management* are free to do so. Those that haven’t must qualify. I don’t write the rules, I enforce them." Adam Cole stated.## It’s actually pretty simple: Those that have been granted the ability to simply declare entry into the Royal Rumble *by management* are free to do so.

Well, it's been a long time since we witnessed Max Holloway Vs. Conor McGregor, but Conor McGregor believes that he is down to rematch Max Holloway in the future.## McGregor was expected to face Andy Ogle on 17 August 2013 at UFC Fight Night 26, but Ogle pulled out of the bout citing an injury and was replaced by Max Holloway. McGregor won the fight by unanimous decision (30–27, 30–27, and 30–26).## Following the bout with Holloway, an MRI scan revealed that McGregor had torn his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) during the bout and would require surgery, keeping him out of action for up to ten months.## Fresh of his match, Holloway faced Calvin Kattar on January 16, 2021, at UFC on ABC 1. Holloway dominated Kattar for all 5 rounds and won by unanimous decision, with two judges scoring the fight 50-43 and one judge scoring it 50-42 in his favor.## Holloway also stated that he was highly interested in running it back with “The Notorious.” His record output in the fight caught McGregor’s attention, and the former two-division champ revealed interest in the bout.## “I thought it was a solid performance,” McGregor told The Mac Life “He fought an up-and-comer, he done well. I was actually doing an interview and he skateboarded by the window. I was like, ‘Is that Max Holloway?’ He’s obviously hanging around and fair play to him. He’s definitely in the pipeline for a bout against me. I would happily rematch Max, and after a performance like, he’s put himself right up there.”## “He’s a tall lad,” McGregor said. “He’s taller than me, so he could build up. He’s only fought at 155 once. It was against Dustin. He was a bit out-powered, but he could certainly do it. Against other lightweights? You never know. But the rematch would be 155, for sure.”## Holloway said in the midst of his fight against Kattar that he was the best boxer in the UFC.## “He’s not the best boxer,” McGregor responded to the comment made by Max Holloway. “It’s no question, and I’ll prove that on Sunday morning. Let’s see what he says Sunday morning.”## If You use any quote from here, then please credit to TheMacLife and also an https:// to MMA Junkie for the transcription## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk For More Updates...
