Conor McGregor VS Floyd Mayweather Fight Will Get Go Signal From NSAC; MMA Champ Now Trains For Billion Dollar Bout

Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather may soon be facing each other in Fight City as Nevada State Athletic Commission chief Bob Bennett said that they are willing to accommodate the two formidable fighters. Bennett said that despite "The Notorious'" obvious lack of experience in boxing, his skills and expertise in mixed martial arts could be his advantage. There is no date yet when the much-awaited fight will be but McGregor's coach said that they have already started training.

NSAC chief Bob Bennet's words have encouraged fans that have been waiting for a Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather fight, MMA News said. But despite this positive gesture, there are still some important points that should be considered for the fight. First is the safely of both fighters. The boxing champ has 49 professional fights while the MMA fighter has minimal boxing experience; McGregor's skill and stamina during fights may not be enough to sign off a bout.

There is also a question of McGregor being a stand-up fighter should the Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather bout pushes through. Bennet said that McGregor's history of training since 12 years of age, becoming a boxing champion in his country and taking MMA greats by KO or TKO are something that should not be overlooked in questioning his stand-up fighting skills.

Meanwhile, McGregor's coach John Kavanagh said that they will let other people worry about paperwork and just train for the Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather fight. Kavanagh said that McGregor won't find it hard to adjust to boxing since it is one of the fighting skills that are mastered in MMA, Bloody Elbow reported. The coach said that there are 10 skills that are trained in mixed martial arts including boxing, jiu-jitsu, Thai boxing and wrestling. They will drop everything else and focus only on boxing.

There is no specific date set for the Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather event but reports say that organizers are targeting a mid-September date. McGregor also told reporters in a recent interview that the bout is going to be signed soon.
