Amir Khan wants Conor McGregor fight – in UFC!

Khan, on the other hand, would welcome the opportunity to step into McGregor’s world by dedicating himself fully to MMA, which is a pretty big ask for someone who has been boxing competitively since he was 11-years-old.

Conor McGregor seeks redemption against Nate Diaz at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas next month and his preparation for the fight has been underway for months.

He’s the same size as Chuck Liddell!

Speaking to flocombat.com, Khan: ‘I would definitely give it a go.

‘Sometimes, you have to put friendship aside and you have to take it in the cage or in the ring.

Khan was often on the other end of reports linking him with a fight against Mayweather, but that never materialised before the American retired with a flawless 49-0 record after he beat Andre Berto last September.

“A good boxer will always win a MMA fight, I’ve always said that”.

Win or lose, Brook would still be a lucrative option for Khan, whilst the McGregor fight seems highly unlikely to ever get off the ground. The 29-year-old would like to make it happen.

Top Rank Promotions chief Bob Arum compares the performance enhancing drug use between boxers and MMA fighters. But like I’ve said, ‘Floyd, you want to fight Conor, call me’.

“I think there’s something inherently wrong in the UFC, with so numerous UFC fighters getting busted for drugs”, the 84-year-old veteran promoter told Fight Hub. It’s in our blood to fight.

Amir Khan thinks he would need a year to train for an MMA fight.

Khan would likely be a heavy underdog should he ever oppose McGregor in the Octagon, but the fight would create a lot of buzz among fight fans who want to see two stars from boxing and MMA face off. I think he fought the wrong fight trying to knock him out. I could stop and train for a full year and become a good MMA fighter.

“I think McGregor has some great boxing skills”, said Khan. “He’s not doing anything right now, and he’s good at making people talk about him”.
