Apparently, the soap opera involving Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather is close to having a happy ending. Dana White, president of the UFC, revealed this Wednesday (17) that the UFC lightweight champion has already signed a contract for the duel under boxing rules, but highlighted that the boxer still needs to seal the commitment.

“I'm not saying the fight will happen, but I have McGregor's side sorted out. Now it’s time to work on the other one”, declared White, in an interview given on the American “TNT”.
McGregor became the first UFC fighter to win two belts in different categories (lightweight and featherweight) simultaneously. His most recent performance was on November 12, 2016, when he knocked out Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205 to win the lightweight title. In total, he has a record of 21 wins and three losses.
Mayweather, in turn, has a perfect record of 49 wins in 49 fights, having won world titles in the featherweight, lightweight, super lightweight, super featherweight, welterweight and light middleweight divisions. “Money”, as he is known, retired from the sport in September 2015, after beating Andre Berto. Earlier this year he announced his return to boxing.
