It appears we͏ are on the verge of͏ witnessing another major crossover su͏perfight between MMA͏ and boxi͏ng, with Conor ͏McGr͏egor once again a͏t the fo͏r͏efro͏nt. This t͏ime, he may face rei͏gn͏ing fou͏r-d͏ivision ͏b͏oxing champion͏ Te͏rence͏ Crawford in a supe͏rfigh͏t reported͏ly being planned ͏by͏ T͏urki Alashikh. McGregor and Crawford were ori͏ginall͏y slated to ͏fight͏ in two bout͏s: one in boxing and the other in MMA. And acc͏or͏din͏g to repo͏r͏ts,͏ a͏ massive $200 million purs͏e had b͏e͏en set͏ f͏or͏ the fighte͏rs.

However, although Crawford initially ͏declined due to skepticism about co͏mpeting in MMA, citing, “Me and Conor got on the phone and started politicking to try and figure something out. Man, I’m not getting in no (expletive) Octagon with you so you can be kicking and elbowing me!” Nevertheless, days after refusing to step inside the Octagon, ‘Hunter’ has come forward to emphasize his fight with McGregor, “Getting back on the mat! Ay, Conor, getting back on the mat! Stay tuned, baby! Stay tuned,” said Crawford on through social media.

Interestingly, Dana White was asked about endorsing this super fight in one of his conversations with ‘Outta Pocket with RGIII.’ The host asked the UFC CEO if would he promote the fight considering the fact that Conor McGregor’s in it. Dana White gave a single answer to this question, “No.”

The host reminded him about the fact that Crawford was a former wrestler, to which the UFC CEO said under no circumstances did he believe that it would be a wise decision for ”Hunter’ to step inside the Octagon, “He’s a smart guy too, saying, “I’m not fighting you in the octagon. You’re not kicking me in my legs,” and you know what I mean? He’s smart. He’s one of the greatest of all time in boxing. Stay in your lane, and he’s absolutely right in what he’s saying.

Conor McGregor‘s last boxing bout against Floyd Mayweather witnessed a very active participation from the UFC CEO but his second one may not have Dana White by his side. Regardless, as Crawford accepts the multi-million dollar fight, what’s ‘Mystic Mac’s reaction to it?

As soon as Conor McGregor witnessed the Terrence Crawford video, he was immensely impressed by Crawford’s decision and he took to his Instagram handle to share it on his story. In the captions he stated that he has immense respect for the ‘Four Division-Champion’, “Is this you accepting the fights now, my brother Terrence! MMA is Saudi for Riyadh season. Followed then by a boxing bout!”

He further added, “Tremendous Terrence, well done. I ACCEPT! @turkialalshikh ITS ON BABY RIYADH SEASON WITH THE NEW BRUCE LEE, CONOR MAC G. And boxing’s pound for pound number 1 tremendous Terence C! JUST WOW!”  Hyping this up, Conor McGregor further stated that it would be an amazing clash, “What a spectacle! You’ve never seen these moves Turki. I am a master martial artist. I am the maestro. Let’s go. I will show.”

It must be noted that the conversation of their boxing match goes way back to 2020. Back in those days, Crawford emphasized that he would fight McGregor under the right circumstances, “They put that money up, hell yeah I’ll go over there and fight him.” Fast forwarding to 2024, hopefully, this is the right circumstance.
