Floyd Mayweather is rumoured to be making his MMA debut in a few months. The name of Conor McGregor has come up as a potential opponent.
Earlier this week, UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley said that he is the one training the boxing legend to get him ready for MMA.
TMZ spoke with Floyd and asked how the champion how he is prepping for his MMA debut. He said that he would need a bit longer than the “2 1/2 months” that Woodley had advised:
“We’ve talked. We’ve been texting back and forth. We talked a couple times so we’re going to start working out real soon,”
“I’ll probably need a little bit longer (than three months), a little bit longer, even if it takes six to eight months. Whatever it takes, we want to make sure that everything is done correctly and everything is done the right way.”
“It doesn’t matter. I can wrestle. My wrestling game is not that bad. On a scale from one to 10, I would say it’s probably a seven, and I think we could take it up to like a nine, if possible. Of course my hand game is, a scale from one to 10, it’s 100. And my kicking game, on a scale from one to 10, it’s probably a four. So we have to tweak a few things then, take things to that next level.”
