Some of the best MMA fighters in the world have been recruited by Floyd “Money” Mayweather.
Mayweather has asked some of the UFC’s best to come help him prepare for his upcoming boxing match against UFC Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor.
Reports are coming out saying Mayweather has asked both Nick and Nate Diaz to come help him train this week.
Nate Diaz is the only fighter to ever defeat McGregor inside the Octagon. In 2016, Diaz shocked the world when he submitted McGregor with a rear-naked choke.
It appears Mayweather has also asked UFC lightweight contender Kevin Lee to come help him train as well. Lee has trained at Mayweather’s gym in the past and was expected to help in preparation for McGregor at some point during his training camp.
Mayweather will fight McGregor, in his professional boxing debut, on Aug. 26 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
I'm told Nate Diaz, Nick Diaz & Kevin Lee have been invited to Floyd Mayweather's practice this week. Stay tuned. #MayweatherVsMcGregor
