Khabib's manager later opened up on the situation and said that Floyd Mayweather to this day keeps begging to fight Khabib Nurmagomedov, but Khabib looks for an MMA showdown, rather than competing in a boxing match. A Floyd Mayweather UFC debut had been teased on several occasions in the past as the boxer has previously suggested he would one day move into the sports of mixed martial arts in some capacity. Having said that, Floyd Mayweather finally seems ready to make a much-anticipated debut next year as he made this announcement on Instagram.

But, this time, fans can expect Floyd Mayweather to compete inside the octagon. As for his opponent, a likely bet would rather be a rematch against Conor McGregor then Khabib Nurmagomedov.
