Re: Mayweather calls out UFC and MMA as a whole...
i'd be shocked if mayweather fought in the UFC. i hope they get some crossover eventually, though, but i think it will come from less established boxers making the crossover if it does happen.

He would get destroyed in the UFC since he has no ground game. He would get taken down and then submitted early first round.

Re: Mayweather calls out UFC and MMA as a whole...
This might be tough to pull off (no pun intended) w/ the different gloves used, but what do you think about this format?:
16, alternating, one-minute rounds one round of boxing rules then a round of MMA rules the rounds -imo- would have to be short, because given enough time (and it wouldn't take much) the pro at their respective discipline would destroy the other (amateurish) guy. I think this would even be comical, to see a feared boxer scrambling for his life on the mat. Then the next round, a top MMA guy covering his face as he gets picked apart in the corner. Plus, I think the guys would get pretty pissed off/ frustrated. They'd have to work hard to finish in under a minute. Overall, I think the boxers would take the worst of it. It seems easier to choke someone on the ground than to knock somebody out on your feet. But, I do think in this setting a Mayweather could come out on top. Really any boxer would have a fighting chance this way. But, like I said, changing the gloves every round makes it highly improbable.

Typical cocky boxer talk. Dana White is just throwing gas on the fire.
