Even if the duel between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather is not yet official, few fans are giving chances for the Irishman, world champion in two categories in the UFC, against the boxer, undefeated in his professional career with 49 victories. For Ultimate's president, Dana White, it is a mistake to underestimate the power of McGregor's hands, one of the most brutal knockout artists in MMA.

In an interview given to rapper Snoop Dogg for a YouTube channel, Dana White assured that the fight between Conor and Floyd, if it gets off the ground, will be much more balanced and interesting than most people think. White declared that you can't diminish McGregor's chances.

” At the end of the day, it’s a struggle. Floyd Mayweather is 40 years old, while the Conor McGregor is 27 years old. Conor is a big guy, he's left-handed and Floyd has problems with left-handed fighters. Besides, McGregor hits like a truck. When he hits you, you know it. So, by no means am I saying that the Conor McGregor will win this fight. I don't know. But I think it will be more interesting than people think. I promise you that the Conor McGregor will hit him. When they fight, Mayweather will take a punch and it will be interesting to see what happens,” commented White.

Although there is nothing official, the UFC lightweight champion, Conor McGregor, has already publicly declared that his focus is entirely on boxing training, aiming for the fight with Floyd Mayweather. Recently, the Irishman's coach revealed that his pupil built a boxing arena to simulate the conditions he will encounter when facing the North American.
