In 2017, Conor McGregor brought himself further into mainstream recognition when he fought Floyd Mayweather Jr. in a crossover boxing match. The bout ended as expected by many when “The Notorious” was stopped via TKO in the tenth round.
The idea of a rematch floated around after, but quickly died down when McGregor’s stock took a hit at 2018 when he lost to Khabib Nurmagomedov. But after an impressive 40-second stoppage win over Donald Cerrone at UFC 246 on Saturday, even Floyd Jr. took notice.
The undefeated boxer hinted at a possible rematch this year through a recent Instagram post.
