If you thought Conor would endore Floyd’s move to MMA following their 10 round scrap on Saturday, you’d be right.
Because, that’s exactly what Conor just did.
In a prepared statement, his first since losing his boxing debut on Saturday, the UFC champion thanked his fans, his team and his business partners. He then went on to address Floyd’s skills as a fighter, and surprisingly he thinks Floyd would make a good MMA fighter.
Taking to his instagram, Conor stated,
Congrats to Floyd on a well fought match. Very experienced and methodical in his work. I wish him well in retirement. He is a heck of a boxer. His experience, his patience and his endurance won him this fight hands down. I always told him he was not a fighter but a boxer. But sharing the ring with him he is certainly a solid fighter. Strong in the clinch. Great understanding of frames and head position. He has some very strong tools he could bring into an MMA game for sure.
Thoughts?
