McGregor tweeted MMA v Boxing
And a pic of him and Mayweather!
 
Would he need the UFC's permission for this? Surely he has a contract that stops him fighting for other organisations or is there a way around it because it's not an MMA fight? Not that I think it will ever happen.

Would this even be classed as another organisation? He would be fighting one man in an exhibition bout.
 
What a farce. A cynical attempt at a big pay day for both, especially Mayweather who doesn't exactly need money.
 
What's it going to be? MMA or boxing? It will prove nothing if one beats the other at their own fecking sport.
It'd be an exhibition, would you not watch?

It's not gonna happen by the way, McGregor is still on his Kanye buzz.

Whether I'd watch it or not is besides the point. Everyone will watch just out of curiosity but I really don't like either of them. It's so sad that all they talk about is money, who gives a shit how much you earn? I prefer to watch sport not whatever they decide to organise just for a big pay day. Exhibition matches are usually for the benefit of charities in football, wonder what the chances of these two doing something similar are..

It's a bit of craic, don't forget this sport started with sumo wrestlers fighting kick boxers...
 
Poor Neil

Hope he doesn't get cut....but his level is nowhere near the top

Fair fecks to him for hanging on for 3 rounds
 
He won't get cut on that performance, he'll probably get a shot at another ranked fighter. Tough bastard.
 
Holly Holm must've really pissed the UFC off. She's #1 contender and is facing the #9 next.
It's a good match-up and to be fair she jumped up the rankings when she won the belt, she hasn't many fights against top opposition in MMA. Win against Rousey and a loss to Tate.
 
Fantastic first round from Gunni! Even on the feet he was having success.

Edit: Stellar performance. Absolutely dominated a scary dude in Tumenov.

Maia continues to look like more of a beast each time Magny and Gunnar fight.
