RadioOnFire.com - Since Conor McGregor took on Floyd Mayweather Jr. in Las Vegas two months ago he has largely remained on the sidelines, appearing at an occasional UFC event and enjoying his family and newfound wealth. Meanwhile, the recurring buzz of a possible Mayweather comeback has taken root among some, with the opponent he is most likely to square up against again being McGregor, seeing how thrilling their battle was.
When asked about how he sees himself fairing in a prospective rematch, the Irish star states confidence that he would finally solve the undefeated boxing great.
"Three game changes in one fight is an impressive trait, and that's why he is in the position he is in. So, hats off to him," McGregor told SportsCenter, after inferring that the challenge he posed forced The Money Team boss to make several adjustments in order to come out on top. "If a rematch happened, I would most certainly beat him. I have no doubt in my mind," McGregor then proceeded to say.
Talk of a Mayweather return was recently resurrected when the retired champ posted a video of himself training in his Las Vegas gym, only one day after UFC president Dana White told the Pardon My Take podcast audience that he'd "never say never" to the possibility of a rematch vs. Conor McGregor. White followed up the quote by saying that he ultimately doubts Mayweather would select to fight again. But with no date having been established for McGregor's next fight (projected to be against either Nate Diaz or Tony Ferguson), there is some question as to whether the taste for another nine-figure pay day may entice Floyd to step in and strike while the iron is still hot.
McGregor mentions Mayweather at the 6-minute mark.
