MMA Fighter Says He Could Kill Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 30 Seconds

MMA fighter Conor McGregor is confident in his abilities to take down undefeated boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr.

McGregor and Mayweather aren't scheduled to fight each other, but if they were, McGregor says the clash wouldn't last long.



"I don't look at a man who's expert in one area as a specialist," McGregor told Esquire."I look at him as a rookie in 10 other areas. If you can box, what happens if I grab hold of your legs? If you put me face-to-face with Floyd Mayweather-pound-for-pound boxing's best -- if I fought Floyd, I would kill him in less than 30 seconds. It would take me less than 30 seconds to wrap around him like a boa constrictor and strangle him."

To be fair, it wouldn't be a surprise if McGregor had the upper hand in a UFC match. Mayweather doesn't participate in that sport. If the tables were reversed and McGregor fought Mayweather in a boxing match, Mayweather would be favored.

Mayweather is likely too busy focusing on his fight with Manny Pacquiao to make a response to McGregor's comments. McGregor, who is Irish, is preparing for his own fight in July. He'll face Jose Aldo for the featherweight title.

    Mayweather will likely make more money from this one fight than every UFC fighter combined will this year. Floyd could probably buy the UFC. I doubt he cares what any UFC fighter has to say.

    I wonder if Conor McGregor is going to turn out to be the fireworks of the century or dud-of-the-week.? All hype and sizzle, just a piece of smelly shrivelled-up tofu instead of steak? Or will it be the real thing -- massive bonfire-roasted Warthog enough to feed an ARMY? We'll see if he's more than hype that doesn't end in a sad fizzle. I don't blame him for hyping it, necessarily. UFC 186 in Montreal is having trouble selling tickets. If any of the fighters had loud and bitter grudge matches full of smack-talk, it would probably have sold out. He's risking his life doing this. It is not as if this is just a ping pong match. Might as well get a good pay day out of it, however it turns out.

      These are both world class athletes. But if they actually fought..not boxed, but fought...

      McGregor would likely win.

      But who cares? Being the 5th baddest man on the planet is still pretty good.

      And, there is likely some guy, living in the mountains in China, that kills a tree a day, with his bare hands....so who cares?

      You think you're so deadly? Fight a gorilla.

          So that blind people can hate them as well.

            I'm not sure I really like being categorized as a gorilla. I'm pretty sensitive you know.
