Following Conor McGregor’s historic UFC 205 win over Eddie Alvarez this past weekend that saw McGregor pick up a 2nd round TKO win<\/a> to claim the lightweight championship, and become the first ever two-division UFC champion, boxing icon Floyd Mayweather heard that people were comparing McGregor to him.<\/p>\n

That didn’t sit well with ‘Money’:<\/p>\n

\"Floyd<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t know Conor McGregor was undefeated, I didn\u2019t know he\u2019s been reigning [over] MMA twenty years undefeated, and was world champion in five different weight classes. That\u2019s something I didn\u2019t know\u2026So I guess you guys are telling me something new if you\u2019re saying he\u2019s the Floyd Mayweather of MMA. If you\u2019re saying he\u2019s the Floyd Mayweather of MMA I\u2019m trying to find out, has he ever made $300 million in one night? Have you ever made $100 million in one night? Have you ever made $70 million in one night. As far as trying to say he\u2019s the Floyd Mayweather of MMA, I mean it\u2019s okay to say it\u2026it\u2019s just not true.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a legend, a living legend, I gave years and years of hard work to the sport of boxing, it was blood, sweat, & tears, had a tremendous team, a tremendous run. Conor McGregor goes out there and does what he does, but never compare Conor McGregor to me. That\u2019s a total disrespect. I\u2019m an elephant, elephant don\u2019t beef with ants. Elephant is so large he doesn\u2019t even see ants.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

McGregor fired back with a statement of his own, saying “Say it to my face” to the boxing icon<\/a>. Now, UFC President Dana White is getting in on the mix! Telling TMZ<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"Conor<\/a><\/p>\n

“Conor McGregor\u2026if he touches you, you go to sleep,” he said. “Floyd puts people to sleep too, with his fighting style, not with his hands. \u2026 Floyd can say what he wants about Conor, but even other fighters have to respect him. He’s special. Floyd’s never even come close to doing to other fighters what Conor does.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Unfortunately, White has stated in the past that a fight between McGregor and Mayweather is undoubtably a long shot<\/a>, and the chances of the fight actually happening are slim to none.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
