Conor McGregor Fires Back At Floyd Mayweather For Elephant-Ant Comments

Conor McGregor has taken his rightful place in a lot of headlines recently. This is good because it means we don't have to put up with constant shite about Donald Trump.

The Irish fighter made history in the UFC at the weekend, becoming the promotion's first dual-champion by holding belts in both the featherweight and lightweight divisions.

The historic achievement hasn't stopped former boxer Floyd Mayweather playing down Conor's ability, claiming that comparing the two is like pointing out the similarities between an elephant and an ant.

"Never compare Conor McGregor to me, it's disrespect," he said. "I'm an elephant, elephant don't beef with ants. Elephant is so large, he don't even see ants."

The Notorious has had his chance to comment, though, and has challenged Floyd to 'say it to his face'.

It would no doubt be a big money event if the two ever went head-to-head, but it's likely that it won't happen for some time, if ever.
