    No it would take years to grapple. But an athlete like him, throwing a kick isnt rocket science. Throwing elbows, kicks, knees is not rocket science. He would just have to learn the technique to it. And I think blocking and avoiding them will just be incorporated into his own defense, and instincts and reflexes. He would probably move fast af with his kicks.

    He is old though..
    lol, there is elite UFC fighters that have trained for years and still struggle with checking kicks and defending them. Floyd wouldnt do **** if someone kicked him in the leg. He has no idea about the distance and kicking range in MMA. Its laughable you think he is going to train a few months, and just because hes a great athlete hes going to master MMA defense.

      But I do wonder would the UFC cut Floyd a huge check. Floyd going to want a 9 figure pay day.

      Also would Floyd vs Conor be for a belt?
      Yea idk how the UFC makes that $100M gtd that Floyd wants let alone give him the daddy size cut of the PPV money backside myself. That goes against their whole business model basically.

      But they did figure it out once and I suspect the UFC might f#ck themselves in the short term for the overall upside a iconic W or picture that this fight could give them. I mean think about it a Conor head kick KO of Floyd would become the most gif'd image in forever and would be part of the montage of highlights for every UFC for the rest of it's existence. How much short money do you take for the overall upside of that potentially happening? Idk, but I bet it's something the UFC has figured out or will figure out cuz I'm sure there is a threshold where it does make sense.

        Maybe floyd is trying to take all the shine out of the ggg/canelo fight like he did in their first outing. It wouldnt suprise me if this is all it is considering the fued between floyd/oscar. Was it just coincidence that asoon as the rematch got finalised the money man started his Instagram attacks????

          This fight will obviously happen. It's the middle of Feb and Conor doesn't have a UFC opponent. Fight will happen in April or whenever St Patrick's Day is.

            It's embarrassing people actually commented on this. Floyd has all the money in the world and still can't handle the fact nobody gives a s*** about him.

              Floyd would get man handled in the ufc. You guys need to stop pretending like he wouldnt. Boxing is boxing, mma is mma.

                That's when you know you worried Floyd would win....

                    Boxing is a skilled sport, mma is who gets who first....
