Conor McGregor was pleased to see Max Holloway make a successful return to the octagon Saturday at UFC 231.

After the longest layoff of his career, Holloway (20-3 MMA, 16-3 UFC) returned to competition and throttled Brian Ortega (14-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) for four rounds into a doctor’s stoppage. It was arguably the finest performance of his career and one that pushed his winning streak to 13 consecutive fights.

The last person to beat Holloway in MMA competition was McGregor (21-4 MMA, 9-2 UFC), who topped “Blessed” by unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night 26 in August 2013. A rematch between the two doesn’t seem unrealistic for the future, but for now, McGregor said he’s just happy to see the 145-pound champ back to fighting (via Twitter):

UFC 231 took place at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. Holloway vs. Ortega headlined the pay-per-view main card following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.

Following Holloway’s victory, UFC President Dana White reiterated that he would like to see the Hawaiian move on from the featherweight division and continue his career at lightweight. That’s the weight class where McGregor currently resides, and Holloway has said he would like to run it back because he was “just a kid” when they first met.

Whether McGregor has interest in running it back remains to be seen, but he did throw some shade when a social media follower reminded him that he has wins over Holloway and Jose Aldo, who are largely recognized as the two best featherweights in UFC history (via Twitter):
