UFC Featherweight Champion Jose Aldo does not think UFC Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor would have much of a chance in a boxing match against Floyd “Money” Mayweather.
“First of all, we don’t know if it will happen or not,” Aldo said Friday during an online Q&A translated by MMA Fighting. “There are a lot of things involved, mainly McGregor has a contract to follow so it’s hard to happen, but if it happens, I don’t think he has a chance.
“Mayweather has the experience of competing for years in the sport of boxing, so I don’t see how (McGregor would win),” Aldo said. “Of course, it’s a fight, but it’s hard for us MMA fighters to go to a different world challenging one of the best in the history. I don’t see a result different than a win for Mayweather.”
Last Saturday, McGregor hosted an interview, which he sold live via online pay-per-view, where he said his next fight will take place inside a boxing ring. McGregor said he believes he will fight Mayweather either at the end of this year or in the beginning of 2018.
