Now that it's beginning to sound like all gatherings are energetic about Floyd Mayweather versus Conor McGregor, best lightweight contender Tony Ferguson doesn't think much about the UFC champ's odds.

As we crawl into the new Mayweather-versus.- McGregor-may-really be-going on the truth there will be significantly more concentration and thought offered as to exactly how this forthcoming boxing versus MMA fight may play out. One person who appears to feel he has a truly smart thought is beat positioned lightweight contender Tony Ferguson.

Ferguson was set to confront Khabib Nurmagomedov in a between time title battle back at UFC 209 preceding difficulties from weight removing constrained Nurmagomedov of the session. The battle wouldn't simply have put a bit of UFC gems around Ferguson's midriff, however, as it would likewise crown the accepted top contender at whatever point McGregor was prepared to come back to the confine.

Rather, as McGergor pursues down what might be the greatest cash battle in battle brandishes today, Ferguson is left to consider what may go down if Conor McGregor really ventures in the ring against Floyd Mayweather (transcript by means of MMA Fighting).

"No chance," Ferguson told Ariel Helwani on the MMA Hour when inquired as to whether Conor had a possibility of winning. "Floyd's only an alternate creature."

Also, it's not simply Mayweather that Ferguson gets a handle on can box McGregor. Given the possibility, Ferguson sounds truly sure he could do it without anyone's help.

"No, I mean if he's about business and being a punk he needs to abandon that belt at the same time, I don't have the foggiest idea," he said. "In the event that you need to box, we should go. I'll box you.

"That fella would get eaten up on his feet."

Ferguson has a solid case for his shot - busted break title battle aside. "El Cucuy" is presently riding a nine-battle win streak, extending the distance back to his choice misfortune to Michael Johnson in 2012. From that point forward he's grabbed wins over previous UFC champion Rafael dos Anjos, and previous Strikeforce champion Josh Thomson, alongside a large group of veteran abilities. Also, to his mind, that places him in line for something important.

"Indeed, why not?" Ferguson said as to battling for the title. "That is to say, actually I was quite recently battling for the [interim] belt. I sense that I am a genuine contender, I have nine wins in succession, I have X measure of execution [of the night] triumphs. Truly, I've been putting in some work. I have an inclination that I merit it. What am I going to do. I'm quite recently going to blast, slamming through these fellows, man. What's more, simply continue thumping them out and completing them. I've had it in my mind I require a knockout. So in the event that you folks need to see someone get thumped out, how about we go."

McGregor as of late uncovered that he's planning to battle Mayweather at some point in September. Also, that could mean it'll be more than a couple of months before Ferguson is in line for a shot at the champ. Meanwhile, the UFC may need to locate another huge battle to keep him occupied and the highest point of the lightweight division dynamic.
