The unveiling of a fight between boxing superstar Floyd Mayweather and kickboxing ace turned MMA fighter Tenshin Nasukawa in the Japanese promotion Rizin on New Years Eve took everybody by surprise, and it seems that his old rival Conor McGregor was gobsmacked too.
Now McGregor has now finally responded to the news and appeared to be taking the announcement in good humor, while taking time to poke fun at Mayweather’s attire and wonder aloud who his opponent is.
“Is that a tracksuit or a sauna suit Floyd haha wtf,” McGregor wrote on Instagram. “is it hot in Tokyo or what’s the story here? that climate change is no joke fuck me hahah What in the fuck is going on here? Who’s this little prick next to you ? That’s mad shit. Like something out of rush hour 5 or something. Chris tucker and Jackie fucking Chan back in this bitch. Fucking brilliant. Mad little bastard you are Floyd. Fair fucks to you mate. No lie. Fuck it.”
McGregor has made it clear in the past that he’s eager to fight Mayweather again, as well as get a rematch with Khabib Nurmagomedov too – who coincidentally had also called out the boxer, only to see him bypass them both in favor of the less well known Nasukawa.
