Comments Thread For: White is Firm on Mayweather-Khabib: Floyd Must Come To UFC

[richardt]

Not sure if Khabib wants to stand firm, he may lose out on that life changing payday.

If he and Dana go by principle, they will only take the fight in the cage. Lets see how long they stand on principle. Hopefully they will tell Floyd where to stick it and only accept a fight in the cage and Floyd did say he would only fight in the cage if he comes back.

How long will that last ( standing his ground Khabib )
What’s gonna happen when Mayweather won’t fold
That’s where the headaches will begin
For fugh sakes he just made 9 million faster the time it takes us to piss

If Dana and Khabib tell Floyd cage or no fight and dont compromise, Floyd will be left with egg on his face since this is what he said in April: "It is possible I do come back, but if I do come back, it has to be in the Octagon,".

Likely didn't even offer Floyd a co-promoter of the event, lol.

So it'll never happen then.....good.

Khabib's manager is talking big $@#t. If you guys have been texting back and forth then why all the insults and animosity? Why threaten to leak personal conversations online like a scorned teenage girl? Dudes are like females these days.

Dana white scared to let one of his marquee fighters go make real money again haha. He had an even harder time than usual controlling Connor after he tasted that boxing money.

All these dudes in combat sports are so see-through these days.

Floyd is the most insecure fighter. Great, but insecure.
He misses hearing his name in the media, and pumps himself up by posting social media pics of his cash. How anyone could root for him is beyond me.

Floyd said late last year that he would only come back for a fight in the UFC so lets see if he backs up his word. Glad Dana and Khabib are standing firm.

I hope floyd takes it....

should be some special rules tho....

for example no ground work...... everything else is legal doe elbows, knees, kicks, punches, etc

just no takedowns, no ground and pound, and probably imo no submissions.

Yeah, Floyd will probably say we can do it in the cage, but boxing only. Everything else is off limits.

hell beat them especially with no takedowns etc.... those kicks wont do shit unless they are thai fighter type kicks to the ribs but i dont think any current ufc fighter at welterweight or even lightweight can kick like that.

I dont think Khabib and Dana will agree to anything less than full UFC rules which is only fair because Conor agreed to follow boxing rules against Floyd.
