Conor McGregor fires defiant message to Floyd Mayweather by STRIPPING off

“Floyd better hope he doesn’t run into Conor on the street, let me tell you what, not only will Conor kick his ass, he’ll kick the s– out of every one of his (Mayweather’s) security guards too”.

Following his sensational knockout of Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205, McGregor was granted a boxing licence by the California State Athletic Commission, causing the super fight rumours to jolt back into life like Frankenstein’s monster.

After Diaz submitted the Irishman in the second round of UFC 196, Conor demanded a rematch and he would go on to redeem himself with an impressive decision victory in what was for many the fight of the year.

Conor McGregor vs Tyron Woodley for the UFC welterweight title in front of more than 80,000 Irish fans.

Maybe I’m in the minority – maybe I’m even on an island unto myself- but the recent spate of “hurry up and sign the bout agreement” missiles being fired by fighters on social media and in interviews is getting to be tiresome. This fight is never happening.

“I don’t know what the hell he’s talking about”, Holloway told Fox Sports. Aldo ultimately changed his tune and now seems ready to prepare for a title unification fight against Holloway, who called out Aldo after his win over Anthony Pettis earlier this month.

“The problem with the rubber match is Diaz is a 170 pounder”, said White.

Dana White says a lot of stupid things.

Regardless, the fight will not take place at UFC 208.

“I was told the victor of the Max Holloway and Anthony Pettis fight would be my opponent in Brooklyn, and my understanding was that both Holloway and Pettis were told the same thing before their fight”. That’s what weight classes are for.

Too bad McGregor isn’t having any of this interim title featherweight title talk. The Friday event will be televised and the Saturday card is UFC 209, which will be a pay-view-view event.

If the UFC has it’s way, #1 lightweight contender Khabib Nurmagomedov will finally get a shot at the lightweight title, and the fight could even go down in his home country of Russian Federation.
