Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather posts video entering MMA cage

Is Floyd Mayweather preparing to step in the UFC’s octagon for real? Probably not, but that hasn’t stopped him from teasing it.

The idea of Mayweather, an undefeated boxing legend, fighting in the UFC – or in an MMA bout, in general – is something that’s come up infrequently over the years. The most recent was UFC President Dana White declaring a deal was in the works to get “Money” in the cage, but that was quickly shut down.

Today, the soon-to-be 41-year-old Mayweather posted a cryptic video of him entering the cage at Syndicate MMA, a notable gym in his hometown of Las Vegas.

Mayweather last competed in the boxing ring this past August when he defeated UFC champion Conor McGregor in “The Money Fight.” Mayweather stopped McGregor by TKO in Round 10, and afterward said he’s officially retired from fighting.

If there’s one thing Mayweather is good at, though, it’s keeping his name in the headlines consistently. This is the latest example, and it certainly got a reaction from the MMA world.
