Mayweather dismisses ufc rumours
You're referring to the recent rumors about Floyd Mayweather Jr. potentially joining the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship).
For those who may not know, Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a professional boxer with a record of 50-0, widely considered one of the greatest boxers of all time. He has been retired from boxing since 2017, but there have been rumors circulating that he might be considering a move to mixed martial arts (MMA) and joining the UFC.
However, in a recent interview with ESPN, Mayweather dismissed these rumors, stating that he has no plans to join the UFC or compete in MMA. He emphasized that he is happy with his current lifestyle and doesn't feel the need to switch to a new sport.
Here's what Mayweather had to say:
"I'm a boxer, I'm a boxer. I'm not a mixed martial artist. I'm not a UFC fighter. I'm a boxer. I'm a legend in the sport of boxing. I'm a legend in the sport of entertainment. I'm a legend in the sport of business. And I'm going to continue to be a legend in all those areas."
Mayweather also took a subtle jab at the UFC, saying that he doesn't think he would be a good fit for the organization. He claimed that the UFC is more focused on "brawling" and "street fighting" rather than the technical skill and strategy that he brings to the ring.
While Mayweather's comments have put an end to the rumors for now, it's worth noting that he has a history of making bold statements and then changing his mind. So, only time will tell if he'll ever consider making a move to the UFC or another combat sport.
