UFC President Dana White confirmed that the only way Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather will ever fight again is if it happens in the UFC.
Floyd Mayweather has been making big headlines and creating even bigger rumours with his recent MMA related social media posts which consist of videos and a picture of him inside a steel cage.

The big rumour is that Floyd is looking to make a billion dollars with a possible UFC deal. The talk between McGregor and Mayweather has heated up in recent weeks and White has finally commented on the matter.
“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. (per MMAFighting.com)
Floyd backtracked a bit from his billion dollar comments back in December and said he won’t fight in the UFC. “Exactly what I said is this: If I could make over a billion dollars before, I could do it again. If I chose to get in the UFC and fight three fights or fight four fights and then fight Conor McGregor, I could make a billion dollars.
“Which I can. I could do it in three fights or even four fights — I could make a billion dollars. If I choose to get in the Octagon and fight,” said Floyd before the year ended.
But now with the recent hints on social media, Floyd is doing his best to get the public thinking he might actually step inside the Octagon.
Mayweather promised he wouldn’t fight again after his bout with McGregor in August last year but it’s no secret that the 41 year-old loves making money. Another fight against combat sports’ biggest name would without a doubt result in another massive payday for all parties involved.
