Dana White says UFC in 'real' talks with Floyd Mayweather on deal

Could Floyd Mayweather actually fight under the UFC umbrella?

"We're talking to Floyd about doing a UFC deal," White told ESPN on Wednesday. "It's real. He was talking about [boxing] Conor McGregor. Was that real? Have you heard Floyd talk about many things that aren't real? He usually tips his hand when he's in the media, and then that sh*t ends up happening.

"We're interested in doing something with Floyd. Everything is a realistic possibility. Mayweather vs. McGregor f*cking happened. Anything is possible."

Mayweather, 40, retired from professional boxing in September following his 10th round TKO win over UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor, a fight which ended up being the second-biggest North American pay-per-view in history.
