The beef is heating up between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor.
In recent weeks the two have become active again at taking shots at each other on social media. Floyd got the rumours going with his cage videos and now the trash talking has come into place.

Over the weekend Mayweather posted a photoshopped image of him landing a devastating elbow on a bloody McGregor inside of a steel cage. ‘Money’ captioned it ‘Certified Killa vs Certified B*itch’, and sure enough it did get the Irishman’s attention immediately.
The former two-weight UFC champion wasted no time in replying and posted a real picture of him landing an actual elbow in his rematch against Nate Diaz in August, 2016. After coming off his first UFC loss to Diaz, McGregor got revenge with a majority decision victory in the second clash.
But the story continued online with Diaz getting the last laugh.
The only UFC fighter to ever beat McGregor in the Octagon wasn’t happy that Conor was making comeback comments with his face getting hit so the Californian posted an image from McGregor-Diaz 1 of him battering ‘The Notorious’ on the ground. The fight ended in a third-round submission victory for Diaz.
According to rumours Mayweather and McGregor are already having talks about a possible rematch. UFC President Dana White has confirmed that should they have a rematch it will only happen inside the Octagon under MMA rules.
“Obviously, the only way making that fight again makes any sense is if he comes over to the Octagon. We went over and boxed him, the UFC and Conor McGregor. And now it’s time for him to reciprocate and come fight in the Octagon,” said White on UFC Tonight.
