Following one of the biggest crossovers in combat sports between UFC megastar Conor McGregor and the former five-weight class champ Floyd Mayweather, the 30-year-old free agent dropped a very catching remark on Twitter.
Revealing the name of his favorite combat sport idols, Bell wrote, “anyways, it was an unbelievable fight! my favorite UFC fighter vs my favorite boxer…GREAT FIGHT! congrats to @FloydMayweather.”

This was one of the most hyped showdowns of all times, in which ‘The Notorious’ challenged ‘The Pretty Boy’ for a boxing match. Mayweather accepted the proposal and came out of retirement to face the Irish fighter.
But McGregor failed to match the expectations of his fans. Though he showcased good skills in the initial rounds, things changed as the fight went deeper. He got tired and finally, the referee intervened to stop the fight.
A few weeks back, the duo was in storylines for their rematch. However, although, it got enough media coverage, due to a lack of authentic information, attention shifted in a different direction.
The upcoming match of Le’Veon Bell
The combat sports enthusiast Le’Veon Bell is all set to go head-to-head against legendary football running back Adrian Peterson on Saturday. The duo will square off on the undercard of YouTube star AnEson Gib vs Austin McBroom.
Since both are free agents and will remain absent from the Football ground this coming season, they decide to trade leather in the ring instead of hitting shoulders and helmets. Recently, they had a final faceoff.

Bell is younger than Peterson and is in the prime days of his physic so he definitely has an edge over Peterson. However, no one knows what will happen when these two meet in the ring.
