UFC lightweight champion Conor “Notorious” McGregor is attempting to lock in a career high payday performance with Floyd Mayweather Jr. The UFC champion wants to face the boxing phenom inside a ring, rather than an octagon. Now, fans and fighters alike are giving their opinions on the potential match up.
Among them, fellow boxing phenom Mike Tyson has come forward with some of his thoughts on the potential fight. On Sirius XM Sports, as transcribed by MMA Mania, Mike Tyson stated “Only way it could ruin boxing is if McGregor goes and boxes Floyd because he’s going to look really ridiculous boxing him. But if he goes in there with the UFC stuff, now this could be pretty interesting. He doesn’t win in a boxing match.”
