Floyd Mayweather does not hide his interest in debuting in MMA. The boxer, who built the most successful career in boxing history, will train with the UFC welterweight champion Tyron woodley, but he already shows confidence in what would be his weakest point: wrestling. According to 'Money' his takedown game 'isn't that bad' and he would rate it 7 out of 10.

“I can wrestle, my wrestling game isn’t that bad. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd say it's probably a 7, and we could take it up to a 9 if possible. Of course, my hand game, on a scale of 1 to 10, is a 100. And my kicking game, on a scale of 1 to 10, is probably a 4. We have to tweak some things and take everything to the next level,” he revealed. Mayweather in an interview with the North American gossip website TMZ.
Partner Woodley even revealed that Floyd would only need three months of training to debut in the UFC, but the boxing super champion is more cautious. At 41, Mayweather wants to train at least six months before his first fight in the Octagon.
“I'll probably need a little more than three months, a little longer, even if it takes six to eight months. Whatever it takes, we want to make sure everything is done correctly and everything is done the right way.”
