Former UFC heavyweight Brendan Schaub slammed Amir Khan after the Englishman said he would "fancy [his] chances" of beating Conor McGregor if he switched to MMA.
Schaub explained in his Fighter and the Kid podcast why it was ridiculous for Khan to suggest he could transition with ease from boxing into MMA, via Sports Joe's Patrick McCarry:
Especially Khan being a lighter guy, he's not going to be a knock-out guy. I don't even know where to begin on this...
He's that boxer saying 'I don't need a ground game; I could walk into the Octagon.'... I'll tell you this right now, you could take a low level amateur at 155 pounds - a guy who might not even make The Ultimate Fighter house - and he would mop the floor with Amir Khan. Mop the floor.
All he would have to do would be cover up, get inside and get an underhook. [Khan] would go for a ride.

Khan, a fan of the UFC who owns a stake in MMA company Super Fight League, revealed he would "never say no to getting into MMA," per the Daily Star's Declan Taylor.
