Truhandle91 he did good against Chad Mendez doesnt he own a record for takedowns? If khabib doesn’t get stood up if he gets a takedown he’ll beat Mcgregor I believe. I like Mcgregor but Stephen Thompson currently is my favorite
Mayweather is smart enough to know he would die in the octagon. Getting choked out, knocked out, limbs broken, or his head bashed in. MMA is the sport of fighting Boxing is the sport of punching
Because he trained for boxing his whole life. If he had trained for MMA his whole life with his defense? He's be the greatest MMA fighter in his weight class.
Flyweight class in the UFC? Shannon really needs to study MMA if he plans to continue speaking on it. The arm bar reference always makes me cringe, too.
Boxers are too specialised in their sport, that they would have a real chance in the UFC. If Mayeather would be doing muay thai or kick boxing, his chances on surviving in the octagon were a lot higher.
They're good friends, they would never fight, unless they start talking about Bron and the shot that saved his legacy in game 6 of the NBA finals, by the one and only Ray Allen, when Skip mentions that, he has a 50 50 chance of a getting mean punch from LaShannon in the kisser... Happy holidays FS1 community!
"idk if Floyd could handle the octagon, hes not the closer kyrie was for lebron, you know the octagon is a tuff place man, even though Ray Allen saved lebron's legacy with the CLUTCH THREE Floyd Mayweather would not and could not step in the octagon. Mj had 6 rings " Skip Bayless
Floyd would have no chance against a UFC champion. Don't know why people want to see him in the UFC, don't know why people wanted to see Conor in the ring.
Zybatsu everyone’s wondering why a 40 year old man doesn’t want to run over to a punk that called him out and fight him on different terms after already beating the punk. He’s retired man ffs and way older than any top boxer anymore, stop hating on his greatness
It would remind me of the old school freak show fights Pride used to set up it would be worth watching but not necessarily for the best display the skill the sport has to offer
Just like Anybody beat Ray mercer right? That 47 year old knockedout the former ufc heavyweight champ who was only 33 at the time. Onr punch can beat anyone. But you fans don't know anything but what promoters tell you lol
Ok, I have to admit...Skip is pretty good at trolling. He’s pretty good with it. Yup...if you watch him closely towards the end, you can see it all over his face...deliberate trolling.
Floyd needs stay out of the octagon, as well as the boxing ring. I want him to stay in retirement and go out on top, why chance a cemented legacy. He's already proved everything he needs to prove with a record of 50-0, he's challenged the best of the best and came out the winner.
Thats real talk, floyd dont need the money or the fight, other people need him, he should stay retired and enjoy one of the greatest legacies left in the boxing ring
Im a real mma fan since 03 , i will say he could win 1 fight all he need is to learn how to check kicks and stop the take down and he'll be straight floyd has a good fighting iq
Future YRN trippen.. Lebron is the reason they won that game.. the Ray Allen 3 was the great play that led up to everything.. that was a great shot.. the greatest shot ever potentially.. I won’t dare take anything away from Ray... but we shouldn’t let the magnitude of that shot take away from Lebron either...
"Floyd will not go in the octagon because sean Lee isn't there, ray allen saved lebron's legacy, kyrie irving is lebron's closer and tim tebow is jesus" - skip bayless
McGregor is a bad dude, but he needs to defend his belt.. ZERO title defenses in his career. Time to fight a top contender.. Tony Ferguson is on a 10- fight win streak.. Khabib is dangerous when he is healthy, on 8-fight streak. Conor is 1-1 against Diaz who is the #6 contender in the division. He made his money boxing, now it's time to fight a top contender and defend the belt (for the first time ever).
b jolly max hollaway is that dude now. Connor is showing he just hype and ran with it. It's like he tryna stay on top then let other dudes fight so he can hand pick them once a year like he is the goat of mma
jay pacino true, Hollaway is dangerous! With all these legit contenders, we don't need Diaz 3. UFC should stop allowing champs to skip over those who have earned their shot for easier matchups.
b jolly nah I don't wanna see Diaz vs Connor 3 it's too late now. Connor time is up he took too long to defend his belt after a loss to floyd. I still didn't get behind him when he lost to Diaz he lost alot of machismo lol but nah their are tons of talent out so Connor gets to win two titles in two different weight classes but don't defend them? Guess when u bringing easy cash u do stuff like that smh I hope he comes back but he's not the ring leader anymore tho it's too much talent u can't just take br eaks unless u a goat
the last minute of this skip is the stupidest I've seen Shannon: you've seen people break each others legs with leg kicks Skip:...so... Shannon: nobody ever kicked Floyd Skip: he could learn to dip and dodge those to skip really has no knowledge on muay thai or tae kwon doe that he thinks Floyd could possibly learn this
the way skip hates bron and floyd..u gotta wonder if he feels just so insignificant to them in comparison..or they ran a train on his wife or somethin'
Learning how to kick especially when u already have cardio and all the other attributes make u learn how to kick easier LISTIN MMA IS EASY TO LEARN IF UR A MASTER AT ANY STYLE IT LET U AEE AND DEVELOP FASTER PACQUIAO CAN KICK MAYWEATHER CAN ALSO KICK NOT UNKNOWN TO ME
Floyd stop wasting our time. One, you're not fighting in the UFC and if by some slim chance you do, no one wants to see you get beat by a rookie. The only reason we would want to see you come to the uff is to make good on your word to fight conor in his sport. We all know you don't want that. If you and all your peeps thought you held up conor for nine rounds so as not to embarrass him and give the fans a better fight than your Paquiaio fight.... uh Conor is not gonna placate you like that. HE WILL DESTROY YOU IN UNDER A MINUTE. So stop flapping your lips and just retire. take your money and enjoy yourself. You have nothing else to prove. Geez.
Embarrassing hearing people who don’t train in MMA talking about MMA - Flyweight class?... Love it when Skip says Floyd run run runs - it staggers me. Watch the late rounds v Canelo for heavens sake. Canelo was wincing. The greatest defensive boxer of all time with phenomenal endurance and ring iq. In MMA - yeah - one leg kick and it’s all over.
When Shannon tries to sound like he knows what hes talking about. "They're lookin' for someone in flyweight for him to fight" FLYWEIGHTS 125 YOU DUNCE.
People forget boxing is a hard sport. Conor couldnt handle it, and everyone knows floyd carried him. So floyd wont dominate at 145 in the octagon? Even at 40 he has superior endurance and training compared to any of those guys. MAYBE people would try to take him down, but MAYBE them boys would get countered and knocked out being stupid trying to take him down. Nate diaz wore conor out, conor never finished nate. Floyd doesnt wear down and he doesnt get tired even at 40. This would play a big factor in my opinion in the octagon. None them boys in octagon has good boxing. Floyd is stronger, faster, and smarter. He will figure something out. Not even to mention the endurance he has. Many mma fighters get tired.
Skip knows nothing of mma. If you've never been kicked before then one kick will put him down. Remember its like swinging a baseball bat and hitting someone with it. Now imagine an old man stepping into the cage for the first time against a 0-5 mma fighter who had time to make a game plan against someone who all he has to do is land a kick or take him to the clinch where knees, elbows, and takedowns are allowed. Many different ways for Floyd to lose and BADLY, CM PUNK BADLY.
ALL PART OF THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT WITH THE CONNOR FIGHT.. WITH IT EVEN MENTION THAT MAY IS GOING TO UFC! NO BODY REALLY SUPER EXCITED ABOUT A CONNER FIGHT IN UFC.. ITS ALL HYPE.. THERES NOTHING GOING ON AS FAR A MARKETING POWER IN NFC.. so stop everyone,, DONT LET UR IMAGINATION GET SOLD ON AGAIN! Lol..
Watch Toney and Couture. And that was humanitarian. He couldn't avoid takedowns. If say a Tony Furguson laid in a couple muay thai leg kicks, his knees would literally pop. In fact, I dare anyone that hasn't been hit by a leg kick to let a half decent mma fighter land a single strike on one's quad. The first Muay thai lesson I took, the instructor demonstrated this and knowing that he connected with no malice or real force I can honestly say that I could barely walk for a week. Anyone that doubts this, I'd just say give it a try. Khabib would take him down and mess him up with elbows etc... The rules are just different. Floyd's way too smart to do this- unless they agreed to some sort of specific set of rules. I honestly don't think I'd want to see this were it a real mma match. No one deserves to get hurt and this just wouldn't be fair. BTW checking leg kicks is a skill that needs to be cultivated throughout one's entire career.
Skip was just saying Conor was already training for 12rnds by whooping on Paulie, wft Skip Did a black guy on the bball court take your Highschool sweetheart or something?
The most realistic fight right now for Connor is Tony Ferguson. There's no way on God's green earth Mayweather is gonna step in the Octogon, we could squash that sh.t. Then being a huge Conor fan I hope he doesn't try to fight GSP. That's just a bad match up for him , especially if Conor trys to go up to his weight class. GSP look yoked for the Bisping fight, and if there's one fighter that can get Connor to the ground its GSP
Skip, you have an excuse for everything... All the what if’s, are old and obnoxious. Shannon should do the same to you... Brady, won a super bowl off the Tuck Rule, he won another on a pic by Wilson on the 1 yard line, he was gifted a super bowl by the biggest melt down of any team in the super bowl era. All they needed was a not to loose yardage..all the what if’s only to help your narrative..but never to prove other points.
No Floyd couldn’t run and quick punch cause they can shoot the legs or grab his hand/arm and Floyd would get slammed don’t even mention the leg kicks Floyd wouldn’t walk right anymore after just one UFC fight it wouldn’t be right for him to even try it at all
Its to much money Floyd still couldn't make you talking 300 million but he could fight another UFC fighter in the boxing ring where he's comfortable being the master that he is he will never be in any real Danger so he could fight another ufc fighter in the boxing ring.
