UFC Fighters Blasted for Calling Out Mayweather

[Cooliox]

Despite not even being ranked inside the featherweight division’s top 15 entering the bout against Matt Sayles, Mitchell thinks he’s worthy of a fight against arguably the best boxer of the past 20 years.

A guy who isn't top15 in his division, made news because he uttered the name "Floyd Mayweather"

Such, is the power, of Floyd Mayweather

Money Bless

TJ got ko’d stiff by a wrestler and Max got out boxed by Poirier of all people and they want to call out Floyd? pathetic

I must've missed that. When did TJ get ko'd stiff? I remember him losing by TKO to big head Henry. I don't remember any wrestler knocking him out cold.

I forgot I was dealing with a ghost acount. Carry on.

"Sit your ass down and shut the hell up!"

A UFC fighter barely anyone has ever heard of is the latest to call out Floyd Mayweather — and the ridiculous trend needs to stop. We get it, you don’t ask, you don’t get. And one of the easiest ways for a fighter looking for attention to put their name up in lights is to attach themselves to someone that needs no introduction.

Floyd Mayweather, with a helping hand from Dana White, put himself in this position too by claiming he and the UFC president are “working together again to bring the world another spectacular event in 2020” after the roaring financial success of his fight against Conor McGregor in 2017.

But it’s prompted far too many UFC fighters to call out the undefeated boxing legend and it reached embarrassing levels on Tuesday when Bryce Mitchell threw his hat in the ring. If you don’t know Mitchell’s name, we don’t blame you. He’s a rising MMA star coming off a spectacular submission win last weekend, but it was just his third bout in the UFC and seven fights before the main event.

Despite not even being ranked inside the featherweight division’s top 15 entering the bout against Matt Sayles, Mitchell thinks he’s worthy of a fight against arguably the best boxer of the past 20 years.

Asked by ESPN reporter Ariel Helwani who he’d like to fight next, Mitchell produced some A-grade garbage.

“I don’t know if I want to do it now and I haven’t really thought about it,” he said. “I just woke up and I actually got my first day of good sleep. I’ll tell you who. I’ve never called anyone out in my career (but) there is one person I’m going to call out real quick and that’s Floyd Mayweather.

“He said MMA is for stupid white dudes who can’t box … I’ll box him. He’s talking about he wants to come over and box a UFC fighter. I’ll beat his ass … He fights like a b****.”

Mitchell’s rant continued further but it’s rubbish not worth repeating. Unfortunately he’s not alone.

Disgraced former bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw — currently serving a two-year ban after testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs — also used an appearance on Helwani’s show to argue his case for a fight against the 50-0 Mayweather.

. . .

Max Holloway has done it too. We won’t put the Hawaiian in the same basket as Mitchell and Dillashaw because he was just answering a question, but the current featherweight champion told TMZ he’s also open to a Mayweather fight this week.

“I would love to do that,” Holloway said. “He’s one of the best guys to ever do it. And, to share the boxing ring with him, it would be a checklist for sure.”

. . .

If we’re going to average three UFC fighters a fortnight calling the 42-year-old out, they’re going to have a long list of candidates to consider. Or not even bother mentioning.

Guarantee that if Greg Hardy and Adesanya could have decent takedown defense in a few years Floyd would kill everyone from Bantamweight to WW if he's been working on his TDD for the last couple of years.

Why would Floyd fight a threat? He won't box Jorge because Jorge knows how to box, he will box Khabib for bigger money in Saudi Arabia or Dubai.

Jorge would get murdered by Floyd in boxing whatever round he wants and Floyd could eat as many Burger Kings as he wants before.

Imagine being touched by a 0-0 fighter in boxing and needing 10 rounds to win.

Boxing is a joke, Floyd would be destroyed in 1 minute at mma.

mma fighters have to stop calling boxers.

Boxers only have courage with safe gloves and 100 rules to prevent the MMA fighter from killing him.

MMA and Boxing are like NFL and soccer they are different universes.

MMA = simulation of a real fight,with dangerous gloves,you can use any martial art.

Boxing = limited sport

you don't know shit about boxing you're a joke he carried Conor and didn't even train for him and Conor's the best "boxer" in MMA.
