UFC lightweight champion and former UFC featherweight champion, Conor McGregor<\/a> may possess some of the best knockout power in the UFC’s 145 or 155 pound divisions. <\/a>That has lead many to believe that McGregor stood a chance against undefeated boxing icon Floyd Mayweather.<\/p>\n

On the other hand of course, Floyd Mayweather is one of the greatest boxers of all time<\/a>, and while the champion has struggled with southpaw opponents in the past, he is by far the most technical opponent McGregor has ever faced.<\/p>\n

\"richest<\/p>\n

With fight fans being split on their predictions for the potential scrap, UFC President Dana White spoke in a video interview<\/a> to discuss the situation, saying:<\/p>\n

\u201cGreat thing about fights is you never know who\u2019s going to win,\u201d White said. \u201cBelieve me, there are a lot of weekends we put on fights, and I think people aren\u2019t going to win, and they do. It\u2019s the crazy thing about the fight business.<\/p>\n

I mean, if it was guaranteed that Floyd was going to win this fight, why would you pay for it? There are no guarantees.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While many believe that McGregor has a chance at defeating Mayweather, Fox Sports 1’s Skip Bayless believes that McGregor has more advantages going into the fight. <\/p>\n

\"conor<\/p>\n

\u201cConor McGregor is 28 years of age, Floyd is almost 40 years of age and he\u2019s heading towards washed up. Because he has not fought anybody for a long, long time. He is afraid of what Conor McGregor, even under strictly boxing rules would do to Floyd\u2019s 49-0 legacy, which is tainted forever. Some MMA fighter, what if he lost to an MMA fighter? Which he would.
\n\u201cWhat he\u2019s going to do, this is classic Floyd \u2014 he\u2019s going to jab and he\u2019s going to run and he\u2019s going to jab and he\u2019s going to run. Then he\u2019s going to jab and then he\u2019s going to run, run, run some more because he\u2019s going to run and hide from Conor McGregor.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
