UFC lightweight champion Conor “Notorious” McGregor has been taking some time off from the Ultimate Fighting Championship. As the champion is expecting the birth of his child, the rest is certainly appropriate.
That being said, the mixed martial artist has not been idle during his time away from the promotion. Instead, “Notorious” is working to strike the payday of his career. McGregor is looking to face boxing phenom Floyd Mayweather Jr. inside the boxing ring for an epic cross-promotional matchup.
While the fight has not been officially announced, many believe it is only a matter of time before the fight comes to fruition. Floyd Mayweather officially announced the end of his retirement, exclusively to train for fighting the UFC champion.
While the details for the fight are being worked out, Conor McGregor has been doing some training of his own. The mixed martial artist turned hopeful boxer can be seen putting in some training in a recently released video.
Alongside him, the champion appears to be working with Ido Portal once again, the man previously refereed to as “touch-butt coach” to the champion fighter.
