McGregor gets underdog tag vs. Mayweather
The odds may not be in favor of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) featherweight champion Conor McGregor should the hundred million dollar mega-bout between him and retired undefeated boxer Floyd Mayweather, Jr. pushes through.
As the prospect of a fight between the two different ring fighters gains steam, fans of boxing and mixed martial arts have quickly painted the possible outcome of the Mayweather-McGregor bout, and the whole picture doesn’t look good for the Irish fighter.
Boxing legend Roy Jones, Jr. and UFC commentator Joe Rogan have both predicted Mayweather to be victorious – and millions of dollars richer – after his boxing duel with McGregor.
Fancy MMA reported that Jones picked “Money” over “The Ghost” as the possible winner in their fantasy bout, saying the UFC champion cannot go toe-to-toe against a pound-for-pound fighter.
