Comments Thread For: White: McGregor Wants Mayweather Bad, I Want Him in UFC

[HarvardBlue]

Am I the only one who doesn't see that Khabib dude as some huge threat? I mean, people are making it out to look like McNuggets is ducking that guy but really, I just don't think he wants to go back to chump change in the UFC when he tasted the lottery.

Maybe I haven't seen much of Khabib but I don't see how he beats McGregor, then again I'm only a causal MMA fan so somebody feel free to enlighten me.

Khabib is all wrong for McGregor. He is good on his feet. His ground game is unstoppable. He has a good chin. For him to go undefeated for that long tells you something. Him or Ferguson could beat McGregor. I can see why McGregor is in no hurry to get back to the UFC.

Khabib would strangle mcreggor, mcreggor has no ground game. If he comes back he will get to cherry pick his opp and he isn’t picking khabib.

he is.. not saying he cant beat khabib but it will be a tough fight for him and the reward will not be worth it.

last month when max holloway beat aldo, conor tweeted out a challenge to max right away. (mind you, conor has already beaten max a few years ago).


this past saturday after khabib's victory, conor tweeted out that he wasnt impress and that if ufc will pay him his worth then the king will be back, but he wasnt saying this when max beat aldo......

I love Khabib, but he is not good on his feet at all. That's total bs-

He's not Max Holloway good, but he can hold his own. He did ok against Barboza.

To further develop upon what you’ve stated, McGregor was ALLOWED to win these few rounds by the good grace of Floyd, and give the fans a show.

Exactly! We have not seen floyd fight like that at all. He allowed himself to get hit :0

Agreed, mcgreggor's only chance would be to ko him early, but if khabib gets his hands on him, it's a wrap. That dude is beast on the ground, and he ain't trying to submit anybody, he gets them down and beats the sh17 out of dudes. Mac don't want any parts of khabib. They won't pay him enough to be punished in that manner.

Too bad Floyd is smart and knows it takes years to switch to mma properly.

It's always about the money.

Floyd carried Conor for a couple rounds and then dismantled him. They will be able to sell the rematch because he did that. No reason for them not to do it. As a boxing fan, who really cares, it's not really boxing.

Without the possibility of a 3rd fight, look for Mayweather to KO him inside 4.
