Conor McGregor: If Floyd Mayweather doesn’t fight in UFC, ‘it will follow him for the rest of his days’

Floyd Mayweather has been teasing a potential UFC fight with Conor McGregor on social media this week. On Wednesday night, street reporters caught Conor McGregor outside a charity event in New York and asked him about the current state of things.

“He’s engaging, we’re engaging,” McGregor told Adam Glyn. “So we’ll see. I’m currently in negotiations to face my next opponent. We have many options. There’s the current interim lightweight champion (Tony Ferguson), there’s an undefeated Dagestani (Khabib Nurmagomedov). There’s maybe a big Russian event. There’s obviously the [Nate] Diaz trilogy.
