Conor McGregor, the first ever UFC fighter to hold titles in two different weight divisions, has recently met with British promoter Eddie Hearn to discuss the highly anticipated Katie Taylor fight. Known for his explosive fighting style and charismatic persona, McGregor has made an indelible mark on the world of MMA. His participation in the upcoming Taylor vs. Serrano rematch has sparked immense enthusiasm among fans, generating an electrifying buzz around the event.
Katie Taylor will be stepping back into the ring on May 20, 2023, to face her rival Amanda Serrano. The two will be battling it out for a title rematch, with Taylor putting all of her lightweight belts on the line. The first fight between the two was quite an exciting event which Taylor won via a split decision. Fans have been clamoring for a rematch ever since. Additionally, the upcoming fight is shaping up to be one of the exciting events of 2023.
The Taylor vs. Serrano rematch will take place in Dublin, Ireland, and Eddie Hearn is hopeful that McGregor might help with funding to confirm the fight takes place at the 80,000-capacity Croke Park, instead of the 13,000-seat 3Arena. Their previous fight was held at Madison Square Garden and packed the arena. Thus, the potential for this rematch to take place at such a massive venue has fans buzzing with excitement.
