Still, Conor McGregor coach John Kavanagh is more than a little skeptical that Mayweather stepping into the Octagon will ever come to fruition. In fact, the SBG Ireland trainer is so sure that Mayweather will never be a UFC athlete that he is willing to put his pride on the line.
“I will do the Riverdance naked the day Mayweather fights in the [UFC],” Kavanagh wrote on Twitter. “Absolutely never going to happen. Not ever.”

Kavanagh cornered McGregor as the UFC lightweight champion lost a boxing match to Mayweather via 10th round technical knockout at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Aug. 26. McGregor’s next move is still uncertain, although the fighter has hinted at a return to MMA in various interviews.
Meanwhile, White confirmed to ESPN that the UFC was in talks with Mayweather about a possible deal.
“We’re interested in doing something with Floyd. Everything is a realistic possibility. Mayweather vs. McGregor f—ing happened,” White said. “Anything is possible.”
