Conor McGregor is arguably the biggest star of mixed martial arts. The Irishman has done the impossible in the octagon and even tried his hand at boxing. There have even been rumors floating about a possible rematch between McGregor and Mayweather. UFC legend, Chael Sonnen, reacted to these rumors, highlighting the “weird” fact that McGregor and Mayweather made contact behind closed doors.

Sonnen posted a video on his YouTube channel talking about the rumors regarding the rematch between the two superstars. In one segment, he mentioned how “weird” it was for the two to talk secretly and tried to finalize a deal without revealing information to the public.

Sonnen said, “Look, I’m sure that Conor and Floyd have made contact with one another. That’s a little weird.” He added, “Every idea starts somewhere, and you got to kind of get it going, but if you and a guy are talking, that’s the one thing that you make sure that nobody knows.”

Chael Sonnen further explained his point and stated, “If you and a guy talk, you go work out a deal. And you decide you’re going to go to the public or you’re going to go to the promoter. Absolutely nobody can know that you and that guy have spoke ever. That would be very weird. That would be a huge letdown.”

To support his claims, he also gave a hypothetical example of the NFL. He said that everybody would be shocked if something similar happened in the NFL and the public discovered that two quarterbacks were in talks a few days before a Super Bowl.

Nobody expected McGregor to do well, considering he was fighting arguably the greatest boxer on the planet. But the Irishman had moments in the fight where he went toe to toe and even got the better of Mayweather.

Ultimately, all of this wasn’t enough to secure a victory. McGregor lost in the 10th round via a Technical knockout. The fans were still surprised that McGregor lasted 10 rounds against a top boxer, even though he had no professional boxing experience.
