Conor McGregor: ‘I’m going to conquer two worlds’

Conor McGregor

CONOR McGREGOR believes his next fight will be a boxing match, rather than an MMA contest.

โ€œI have my eyes on one thing and thatโ€™s Floyd Mayweather,โ€ McGregor said in a Q&A. โ€œMe and Floyd have got to get together and talk and figure it out the same way him and Manny [Pacquiao] figured it out. Once we come to a number, once we come to a set number that Iโ€™m happy with, heโ€™s happy with, then we go to the customers, then we go to the promoters, the buyers, then we get it done. Thatโ€™s whatโ€™s next.

โ€œThereโ€™s a lot of steps to get through to get the fight done but itโ€™s the fight to make. Itโ€™s the fight that people want. Itโ€™s the fight that I want.โ€

McGregor would be a huge underdog in the ring against Floyd Mayweather. But he spelled out how heโ€™d approach that fight. โ€œIโ€™m confident going in there. Iโ€™ve got the reach, Iโ€™ve got the youth, Iโ€™ve got the confidence. Iโ€™ve got the unpredictable style. You canโ€™t prepare for a style like me. A guy said to me why conquer one world when you can conquer two. So Iโ€™m going to go conquer two worlds,โ€ McGregor declared.

โ€œHe needs rules to protect him. I donโ€™t need rules.โ€

Mayweather gave Conor an encouraging indication when he spoke on Showtime on Saturday. โ€œI believe the fight can happen. Conor McGregor, like I said before, heโ€™s a tough competitor. He proved throughout the years in the UFC that he can fight standing up. So weโ€™ll just have to see what the future holds,โ€ Mayweather said.

But the UFCโ€™s Dana White warned McGregor would face an โ€œepic fallโ€ if he tried to fight beyond the auspices of the UFC.
