McGregor training partner says Conor will “100%” knockout Floyd Mayweather <\/strong><\/p>\n

Conor McGregor will enter the squared circle for the first time in his professional career on August 26 to face off against undefeated boxing legend Floyd Mayweather!<\/p>\n

The McGregor vs. Mayweather super-fight will take place at 154-pounds under the bright lights of T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Floyd Mayweather is thought by many fans and analysts to be the greatest boxer in the history of the sport.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoney\u201d has gone a perfect 49-0 in his boxing career while taking very little damage during those contests. (Check out Mayweather’s few humbling moments here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

It is not like Floyd has been spoon-fed opponents either, as most of Mayweather’s fights have come against top tier fighters, as well as fellow and former champions.<\/p>\n

With that said, one of Conor McGregor’s teammates is 100% sure that ‘Notorious’ will emerge victorious by way of knockout when he squares off with ‘Money’ on August 26.<\/p>\n

Dillon Danis, Conor’s jiu-jitsu coach, gave the following bold prediction to TMZ Sports:<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think he\u2019ll hang with him, I think he will knock him out 100-percent! It will be a bit more dragged out, Mayweather is a bit better at avoiding the shots (than Jose Aldo), so I think maybe under six (rounds).\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

Floyd Mayweather was last seen in action in September of 2015, where he scored a unanimous decision victory over Andre Berto thus retaining his WBA (Super), WBC, The Ring, and lineal welterweight titles.<\/p>\n

Prior to his win over Berto, “Money” was coming off a unanimous decision victory over fellow boxing legend Manny Pacquiao<\/a> in what was considered to be the biggest boxing fight of the modern era.<\/p>\n

Following his victory over Berto in September of 2015, Floyd Mayweather Jr. retired for the second time in his professional career.<\/p>\n

With that said, Mayweather will now return to the ring for arguably the most unique fight of his professional career against mixed martial arts star Conor McGregor.<\/p>\n

The UFC’s current lightweight champion, McGregor, was last seen inside the octagon this past November at UFC 205 in New York, where he scored a second-round knockout victory over Eddie Alvarez.<\/p>\n

\"ufc<\/p>\n

Conor has gone 9-1 in his UFC career, with his lone loss coming to Nate Diaz via submission in March of 2016 at UFC 196.<\/p>\n

McGregor has scored seven finishes in his nine victories while fighting under the UFC banner, with all seven stoppages coming by form of KO\/TKO.<\/p>\n

The brash Irish star is confident that he can become the first man to hand Mayweather a loss inside the ring.<\/p>\n
