Floyd Mayweather saw the frenzied brawl that unfurled shortly after Khabib Nurmagomedov submitted Conor McGregor at UFC 229, and he’s not impressed. In his eyes, it’s important for fighters to comport themselves like professionals, inside and outside the ring. The undefeated boxer, who has recently been mentioned as a potential opponent for Khabib Nurmagomedov, discussed the UFC champion’s post-fight actions in a recent interview with TMZ.

Shortly after UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov defeated Conor McGregor in the UFC 229 main event, he called for a fight with another undefeated fighter: boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr. “Hey let’s go Floyd, we have to fight now,” Khabib Nurmagomedov said. “50-0 versus 27-0. Two guys who never lose. Let’s go. Why not? Because in the jungle only one king. Only one king. Of course I am the king. Because he [Mayweather] cannot drop McGregor, but I drop him easily. Let’s fight. Let’s go.”

Earlier this year, one of the hottest topics in combat sports was boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s potential move to MMA. Mayweather and his team repeatedly expressed interest in a move to the UFC’s Octagon, while UFC President Dana White suggested there had been negotiations between the boxer and the promotion, and UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley even offered to train the boxer.
