What he has to do…
The rumours refuse to go away, and even more emerged this morning as Flo Combat reported that the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas have put June 10 on hold for a potential match-up.
The opponents… Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather.
Over the weekend, during a Fight Companion podcast for UFC Fight Night: Fortaleza, UFC commentator Joe Rogan was once again talking about a possibility of a fight between the pair.
Speaking on the podcast Rogan said:
“There’s something about [McGregor]. I’m telling you, there’s something about that dude. He’s got something going on. He’s got a little something extra special but he would need everything to line up.
“Mayweather would have to dismiss him as a threat. He’d have to not train hard enough. He’d have to not seriously consider the possibility that Conor connects on him and knocks him out. And then… Conor would have to do some roughhousing. He’d have to hold him in the clinch. He’d have to hold him and hit him. He’d have to try and get off as many shots and bully him around and wear him out. It’s a possibility.
“He’s a much bigger man. If you compare the two of them frame-wise, if they ever do do it, and they’re standing right at each other, looking down at each other doing eye-to-eye, you’re gonna go ‘oh, sh*t.’ [Conor]’s a big fu*k. He can make that 145-pound cut when he’s on death’s door, but Mayweather makes it easy.”
Whether the fight will actually happen or not again remains unknown with Dana White recently insisting that McGregor would fight either Tony Ferguson or Khabib Nurmagomedov next.
But then again, Dana White has changed his mind many times in the past.
