Former UFC middleweight and light-heavyweight title challenger Chael Sonnen has bizarrely claimed that Floyd Mayweather got beat up by Conor McGregor in 2017.
The retired 50-0 boxing legend ended his professional career five years ago by stopping the MMA superstar in the tenth round of a mega-money crossover fight, that remainsIn the eyes of most, ‘Notorious’ was outmatched from the first bell, but he did manage to win a couple of the early rounds due to Mayweather’s inactivity.
As the fight progressed, ‘The Best Ever’ proved the UFC fighter was in over his head as he proceeded to beat up a gassed ‘Notorious’, who was ultimately saved by the referee in round 10. One of McGregor’s former colleagues sees the fight differently than most and claims that despite being a massive underdog, the first-ever dual-weight UFC champion was winning the fight before being stopped.Beyond the Fight‘The American Gangster’ suggested Mayweather was the beneficiary of dodgy officials as all three ringside judges’ had him winning comfortably at the time of the stoppage in round 10, with cards of 89-81, 89-82, and 87-83.
“He [Mayweather] lost four of nine completed rounds. He got his a** kicked regardless of what the crooks in the Nevada State Athletic Commission told you that night,” Sonnen added.
