Conor McGregor Says He'd Kill Mayweather In Seconds, Champion Has Surgery, UFC On Fox Weigh Ins

- Brash Featherweight contender Conor McGregor is no stranger to making headlines, but usually within the MMA world. This week, he had choice words for boxing king Floyd "Money" Mayweather.

"I don't look at a man who's expert in one area as a specialist," McGregor told Esquire. "I look at him as a rookie in 10 other areas. If you can box, what happens if I grab hold of your legs? If you put me face-to-face with Floyd Mayweather, pound-for-pound boxing's best, if I fought Floyd, I would kill him in less than 30 seconds."
