McGregor might not be done proving to the world he’s the best at everything one discipline at a time! Recently Demian Maia jokingly extended an invite to the MMA ace to indulge him in some competitive jiu-jitsu.
After all McGregor is a ranked purple belt and previously grappled competitively.
“If Conor wanted to have a jiu-jitsu fight against me, that would be interesting,” he said. “Obviously, for people in the fight business, this was nothing but a big marketing campaing to generate money. We had a fighter who’s not a boxer, trying his best against an expert.
“After the third round, Mayweather controled the fight as he pleased. Even people who don’t follow the fight world wanted to watch it, because of all the buzz that was created. I saw a lot of people who don’t follow it, talking about it. It’s more about entertainment, really. I don’t think it’s a more interesting fight than Lyoto Machida against Derek Brunson, for example. What’s interesting is watching the show after this big circus they put up.” Maia told bloodyelbow.
Sadly Maia lost the title shot to Tyron Woodley in a fight for the welterweight championship – Maia will next meet Colby Covington at UFC Fight Night 119
