Kenny Florian: Conor McGregor's best bet is to get Floyd Mayweather 'emotional'

We've got two months of build-up and hype for the boxing extravaganza between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor.

Boxing and MMA pundits give McGregor, the current UFC lightweight champion, no chance against boxing's pound-for-pound great but Kenny Florian, a former two-time UFC title challenger, believes 'The Notorious' does has a path to victory — and it's not that vaunted left hand.

Florian, a co-host of UFC Tonight, advised McGregor to get personal with Mayweather in the coming weeks. The Irishman is a master of psychological warfare and knows how to plant seeds of doubts in his opponent's head in the pre-fight media build-up.
