Khabib Nurmagomedov
After getting knocked out by Floyd Mayweather in 2017, Conor McGregor made his return in UFC but ended up getting choked by the lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov. The Dagestani also showed his urge to face Floyd Mayweather multiple times. Khabib is a world-class grappler while Floyd is a legendary boxer and former UFC Welterweight champion has confirmed that Khabib vs Mayweather is likely to happen.
Jorge Masvidal
It can’t be better if Floyd Mayweather decides to face the BMF of UFC in 2020. Jorge Masvidal is one of the eminent strikers of UFC, who prefers keeping the fight in stand up. A fight between Floyd Mayweather and Jorge Masvidal will be a treat to watch, as we still don’t know who has the deadliest punch.
