In 2017, the world watched in awe as boxing legend Floyd Mayweather and MMA superstar Conor McGregor clashed in a historic bout. The event, dubbed ‘The Money Fight,’ generated a staggering $600 million. While that epic face-off settled scores in the boxing ring, a new layer of intrigue has surfaced that has fans buzzing. What would happen if these combat sports titans met again, but this time in an MMA octagon? This isn’t just fan fiction. A resurfaced video features Joe Rogan, the voice of MMA, offering a brutally honest prediction.
Rogan’s take is not only unfiltered but also packs a punch that will leave you bewildered. Imagine Floyd Mayweather resembling “a baby” in a fistfight. Odd, right? As perplexing as it sounds, Rogan has compelling reasons for this eyebrow-raising statement. If you think you’ve heard it all on this topic, think again.
Joe Rogan weighs in: The boxing legend vs. the MMA titan
The Mayweather vs. McGregor bout wasn’t just a sporting event; it was a spectacle, capturing the attention of fans across disciplines. Held in 2017, this boxing match saw the undefeated Mayweather face McGregor, an MMA champion making his professional boxing debut. The stakes? Pride, legacy, and a purse that touched an astonishing $600 million!
Now, amidst the myriad of opinions and analyses surrounding the bout, a fresh perspective has come to light. Joe Rogan, a key commentator in the MMA world, recently shared his take. “Conor McGregor was gonna fight Floyd Mayweather in MMA. It is as close to 100% as anything ever gets,” Rogan stated with unwavering certainty. He didn’t stop there. Drawing a stark analogy, he mentioned, “Cause if you think Floyd is all of a sudden gonna become this f***ing one-punch destroyer like John the beast Mugabe in the 1980s or whatever f**k that was, if you think that’s gonna happen out of nowhere, you’re crazy.”
Rogan’s candidness takes the conversation in an intriguing direction. While Mayweather showcased his boxing prowess in the 2017 match, Rogan firmly believes that in the MMA octagon, the tables would dramatically turn. “He’s probably gonna punch Conor a few times,” Rogan admits, but swiftly adds, “Conor’s gonna get a hold of him, and then he’s gonna be like a baby.”
The contrast Rogan presents between Mayweather’s boxing mastery and his perceived vulnerability in an MMA scenario paints a captivating picture for fans and experts alike. The ensuing debate becomes not just about who might win but also about the nuances and intricacies of combat sports. And as the narrative unfolds, it becomes clear. In the dynamic world of combat sports, mastery in one domain doesn’t always guarantee dominance in another.
