Conor McGregor Is Convinced He Could Destroy Floyd Mayweather in a Rematch

“With the lessons I learned from that first fight, if I had another go now, I’d get him.”

Mayweather vs. McGregor… 1?

Just when we thought he was heading back to the UFC an even wealthier man than before, Conor McGregor raises the idea of a Mayweather vs. McGregor II

Speaking to Scottish fans, the UFC champ sounded like he’d thought it through enough to be serious. Journalist Pete Carroll reported McGregor’s comments while live-tweeting the event.

In a an article for MMAFighting.com, Carroll followed up with a full McGregor quote:

“I know if I went another go with him, under boxing rules, I’d get that win. I know that. I know by the feeling of him in the first fight.

“He had to change his whole approach. He fought completely different than he ever fought. He couldn’t figure out what I was doing early on.

“With the lessons I learned from that first fight, if I had another go now, I’d get him. At the same time, he’s 50-0 and he’s getting on, I’m not gonna start calling him out. I’m happy to see a fighter (do well).”

McGregor reportedly also addressed a possible December 30 match against Nate Diaz, to make their face-offs into a trilogy.

Otherwise the Notorious One seemed like he was in fine form.

Whatever happens with future matches, it seems clear that McGregor is having one hell of a good time between matches just tossing back vodka and ginning up publicity with ease.

Will Mayweather take the bait? We’ll have to just wait and see.
