One of the biggest roadblocks in making this super-fight between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather Jr. go down has officially stepped aside, as UFC boss Dana White stated he won’t stand in the way of making it happen. White is simply viewing this fight as a fan, and one of the biggest differences between the two strikers will clearly be size.
McGregor has been cutting weight his entire career and knows how to do it properly; The fighter comes in at 5’9″ and still has the ability to keep up and match the power of welterweights. Meanwhile, Mayweather (5’8″ in height) has fought the majority of his career at the 150-pound range. Both McGregor and Mayweather have stood next to Chris Weidman to pose for a picture, and you can compare their sizes in the images below:
