Last week, former UFC double champ Conor McGregor called for a rematch with Floyd Mayweather Jr., claiming that he whooped him in the early rounds and, with the right adjustments, would have beaten the boxing great at his own game.
“I believe I would win. Actually, there I go again with the fake humbleness — I know I would win,” McGregor said in a recent interview with motivational speaker and author Tony Robbins.
Although McGregor did have some success in the early rounds, the Irishman was outboxed in the mid to late rounds and succumbed to a barrage of punches in the 10th, losing via technical knockout (doctor’s stoppage).
