Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is just two days removed from its UFC Fight Night 106 mixed martial arts (MMA) event (results), which took place last Saturday night on FOX Sports 1 in Brazil.
It featured a breakout performance from ex-welterweight contender Kelvin Gastelum (see it), as well as another blistering knockout from PRIDE legend and former UFC 205-pound titleholder Mauricio Rua (video).
But why focus on that crap when we can instead regurgitate another “story” about Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather? We can’t and we won’t, which is why I turn the mic over to UFC color commentator Joe Rogan, helpfully transcribed by MMA Fighting.

He’d have to not train hard enough, he’d have to not seriously consider the possibility that Conor connects on him and knocks him out. And then Conor would have to do some roughhousing. He’d have to hold him in the clinch. He’d have to hold him and hit him. He’d have to try and get off as many shots and bully him around and wear him out. It’s a possibility. He’s a much bigger man.

If you compare the two of them frame-wise, if they ever do do it, and they’re standing right at each other, looking down at each other doing eye-to-eye, you’re gonna go ‘oh, s**t.’ [Conor]’s a big f**k. He can make that 145-pound cut when he’s on death’s door, but Mayweather makes it easy.”
The case for Mayweather can be found here.
UFC President Dana White, who previously made a “real offer” to both camps, has long since rescinded his proposition and now insists McGregor will fight Tony Ferguson once “Notorious” returns from his self-imposed hiatus.
Then again, White also said UFC wasn’t for sale and Yoel Romero was next in line for a middleweight title shot so...
