On August 26, UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor will step into the boxing ring with an 0-0 pro record. He’ll do so against Floyd Mayweather Jr.<\/a>, a man with a record of 49-0 and a reputation as one of the best boxers ever. As such, it’s easy to understand why the Irishman has been pegged as sizeable underdog heading into this fight.<\/p>\n

UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley, who has had several heated exchanges with McGregor<\/a> in the past, does not expect McGregor to beat Floyd Mayweather. All the same, he’ll be putting some money down on him, because he believes anything is possible in combat sports.<\/p>\n

Woodley explained this feeling on a recent episode of his podcast,\u00a0The Morning Wood Show<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019ll be honest, me and Conor ain\u2019t really see eye to eye on a lot of things. At the end of the day I still want to scrap him, but I\u2019m betting on Conor,\u201d Woodley said (via BloodyElbow<\/a>). \u201cYou know why? I bet a grand, I win 6,500 bucks. I bet 2 grand, 13 grand. It\u2019s freaking combat sports. Anybody got a chance at all times, so I\u2019m willing to lose for the chance to win because that\u2019s crazy that somebody that is that big of a underdog.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cLike on paper, you and I can see how and why. Who knows how it might go? I might be able to bet 100 bucks to win 1000. He might be plus 1000 at the end of the day when people really start putting their analytical hats on this fight and style match up.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know. I don\u2019t think he\u2019s going to win, but if he proves me wrong, at least I can cash in on it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Do you think Tyron Woodley is right to bet on Conor McGregor, or is he risking his money unnecessarily?<\/p>\n
