You might have seen a tweet on Monday from Omar Al Raisi, editor-in-chief of The Sports Journal, claiming that there will be a rematch between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather Jr. under the UFC banner, with a slew of modified rules that effectively make it a boxing match in a cage.
.@FloydMayweather will fight @TheNotoriousMMA in the octagon. With 4 ounce gloves, no shoes, 5-five minute rounds in 155 division.
No kicks, no take downs, no elbows, no knees. Certain things will be allowed like the clinch.
