Conor McGregor has shared glasses of his new Proper No. Twelve with a number of celebrities over the last few weeks, but he won’t be offering any to his recent opponents Floyd Mayweather or Khabib Nurmagomedov. During a recent interview with Entrepreneur.com, the Irish star was asked which of these two former opponents he’d prefer to share a glass of whiskey with, and his answer was a decisive ‘neither.’

Speaking in a Wednesday afternoon Instagram post, undefeated boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr. made the announcement that his recently announced RIZIN Fighting Federation showdown with kickboxing star Tenshin Nasukawa, scheduled for December 31 in Tokyo, is cancelled. Or, perhaps it’s most accurate to say it was never really on. At least not from Mayweather’s vantage point. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp49AUphcLu/

The out of nowhere announcement of all out of nowhere announcements was announced last night as Floyd Mayweather vs Tenshin Nasukawa will take place at Rizin 14 on New Year’s Eve. Every year since their existence, Rizin Fighting Federation has held their biggest events on New Year’s Eve. And after two already incredible shows with Rizin 11 and Rizin 13, it was going to take something massive to top those for the end of 2018.

Floyd Mayweather saw the frenzied brawl that unfurled shortly after Khabib Nurmagomedov submitted Conor McGregor at UFC 229, and he’s not impressed.

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.”

“Is this really happening?” is just one of the many quotes or questions that may be asked when witnessing one of those obviously special sports moments. One of the more fun parts about being in the combat sports world is that there are separate sports that are similar enough for athletes to try their hands in the other aspects and varieties that exist outside of the one that they’re accustomed to.
