Andrew Tate has shared his potential interest in a fight with former two-division champion Conor McGregor and delved into just what it would take for him to meet the Irishman inside a combat setting.

Cross-platform fights are becoming more common than ever in this day of age. YouTubers are taking the plunge and stepping into the boxing ring to face fellow internet stars or in some cases former combat sports world champions.

One man who is notorious for his profile on the internet is Andrew Tate. A former kickboxing world champion, Tate has been the subject of conversation for many of these speculative matchups given his controversial viewpoints unsettling many people across the world.

Now whilst Andrew Tate has yet to take up any of these opportunities, he has shared his opinion on how he believes many of these potential matchups would play in his favor. Including a matchup against Conor McGregor.

Andrew Tate Speaks About a Hypothetical Conor McGregor Fight

Speaking with Rob Moore, Tate delved into the idea of a matchup with the current UFC athlete and shared his reasoning on what exactly it would take for him to seriously consider an offer for this potential bout.

‘That’s an interesting one, I guess. I mean he is still in his prime, I’m a lot bigger than him. He is very good, very capable. We would certainly have a lot of good trash talk. It would make a lot of money but again I would need a personal problem with him to fight him.’

Whilst Tate would see the interest in a matchup of this kind it appears it is not something he would be actively looking to pursue making it clear he has no type of conflict with McGregor which would make him want to do so.

He would also go on to show his respect and admiration for the Irish superstar.

‘I have nothing against Conor, kind of like the guy so there would have to be a good reason.’

All hypothetical of course, but even if this idea were to come to fruition Tate would have to wait quite some time as McGregor continues his recovery from the devastating leg injury, he suffered against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264.

McGregor is anticipated to return to action in 2023 but as confirmed by Dana White, just like any athlete who is taken out of the USADA testing pool, the Irishman would need to submit six months of clear samples before he is able to return to competition in the UFC.

Andrew Tate credits Jake Paul’s boxing ability but believes he would KO ‘The Problem Child’

Andrew Tate has praised Jake Paul as he continues on his journey competing in the world of boxing whilst suggesting how a fight between the pair would play out. Paul will face a step up in competition in his next matchup when he is tasked with defeating the former UFC middleweight champion, Anderson Silva. Andrew […]

Andrew Tate was recently interviewed by Rob Moore, sharing his opinions on a variety of topics including the growth of internet personalities competing in combat sports. One man whose name was mentioned during this conversation was ‘The Problem Child,’ Jake Paul.

Tate revealed that he had been involved in a conversation that would have seen him fight the undefeated Paul, but things never came to fruition. Speaking on the matter Tate highlighted the difference between Jake Paul and the rest of these internet superstars who are trying their hand at combat sports as well as how he believes a fight between himself, and Paul would play out.

‘That was in conversation at some point. I think Jake Paul is a man who is very dedicated to his craft, and he is not just a YouTuber, Jake Paul is a boxer. He spends his life training, he has a lot of money, a lot of time, and a lot of resources. The idea that he is just a YouTuber is foolish.“

“KSI is just a YouTuber. Jake Paul is a boxer, and he is certainly the best of all the influencers who are fighting today hands down.“

“Would I fight him? Well, there is not a man on earth I wouldn’t fight it just depends on the scenario, depends on the situation. For me to fight Jake Paul it wouldn’t be for money because I don’t need money. It wouldn’t be for influence because I am more famous than him. It would be either a personal beef or me deciding that it was good for me and my brand.“

“It would be a decision I make very consciously but I couldn’t be bought into it. It couldn’t be to say ‘hey you’ll be famous’ I am the most famous man on the plan I couldn’t care.“

“But certainly, he would be the only challenge of any of them, he wouldn’t be easy to beat, I would knock him asleep of course but it would take more than one round. But the rest of them are all just clowns but Jake Paul is in a different league to the rest of them.“

Andrew Tate Pictured Among Numerous UFC Fighters Prior To UFC 280

One of the more controversial individuals on the internet as of late, Andrew Tate, had been seen taking photographs with numerous UFC fighters who were competing on the UFC 280 card this past week.

This included the likes of UFC bantamweight champion, Aljamain Sterling and number one contender, Sean O’Malley. Tate had even gone as far as inviting O’Malley for a tour of Eastern Europe after UFC 280 had been completed.

Tate then found himself in the midst of the action during fight week as footage emerged online of the social media outcast sparring inside a UFC octagon that had been set up for the athletes on the card to use in preparation for their matchups. Whether you like him or not, it seems we may be seeing a great deal more of Andrew Tate involved with some of the more popular UFC competitors.

Conor McGregor shows solidarity with Ireland Women’s football team amid controversial celebration referencing the IRA

Former UFC two-division champion Conor McGregor has shown solidarity with the Ireland women’s football team following the backlash they received after celebrating their victory over Scotland last Tuesday. Following on from their victory the Ireland team was to be seen signing Wolfe Tones song ‘Celtic Symphony’ which contains the lyrics ‘Up The Ra’ referencing the […]

Following on from their victory the Ireland team was to be seen signing Wolfe Tones song ‘Celtic Symphony’ which contains the lyrics ‘Up The Ra’ referencing the IRA (Irish Republican Army).

The team received harsh criticism after the video emerged online of the players signing the song whilst celebrating their victory in the changing rooms post-match. Chloe Mustaki, a member of the match-winning squad would later appear on Sky Sports News to apologise on behalf of the squad for their actions.

Following the apology, Conor McGregor shared his thoughts on the matter in his own unique way. The Irishman uploaded a video to his social media editing Mustaki’s original response to include one of his many well-known catchphrases stating: ‘I would like to take his chance to apologise…to absolutely nobody.’

Conor McGregor Defends Ireland Team Following Backlash

Conor McGregor came to the defence of the Ireland Women’s team following the backlash they received following Tuesday’s victory over Scotland. The ‘Notorious’ himself has first-hand experience of social media controversy given his frequent tirade of posts targeting fellow martial artists and anyone who speaks poorly of him.

Most notably McGregor received heavy criticism in the aftermath of his defeat to Dustin Poirier in their trilogy bout at UFC 264 after making remarks regarding the Louisiana-natives wife, Jolie Poirier.

McGregor would only make things worse after his former opponent Khabib Nurmagomedov congratulated Poirier on his well-deserved victory.

Khabib would remark that ‘Good always defeats evil’ in reference to Poirier’s success over McGregor, which resulted in the Irishman making comments on the former lightweight champion’s father, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov.

Adulmanap Nurmagomedov died in July 2020 after battling health conditions and long-term effects brought on by the coronavirus. Responding to Khabib’s tweet McGregor suggested that ‘Covid is good and father is evil?’ making jokes in regards to Abdulmanap’s passing.

No doubt, Conor McGregor will continue to involve himself in controversies on Twitter, especially in the build-up to his highly anticipated return to the octagon, scheduled to occur in 2023.

K1-Kickboxer Kouzi knocks out Floyd Mayweather’s ‘juicehead’ bodyguard Jizzy Mack at Super RIZIN

K1- Kickboxer Kouzi was able to stop Jizzy Mack, the bodyguard of Floyd Mayweather, in their exhibition bout at Super RIZIN. An event that also saw Floyd Mayweather himself emerge victorious against Mikuru Asakura via TKO in the second round. Mack entered the bout with a 42-pound weight advantage over his opponent. However, that seemed […]

Mack entered the bout with a 42-pound weight advantage over his opponent. However, that seemed to be the area of his downfall, as he rapidly began to fatigue during the second round, before ultimately being dispatched in the third.

Kouzi was able to land a combination of strikes which dropped Mack early on in round three. Despite winning his matchup, Kouzi admitted he was somewhat disappointed in his performance, claiming that with his experience he should have been able to overcome his opponent easier.

Holding a kickboxing record of 31-16-2, Kouzi had a wealth of experience to call upon in this matchup. Although he struggled to get past Mack’s attempts in the first round ultimately, he was able to find his rhythm and land the necessary shots that would see him stop Mack, who proved to be an awkward opponent.

Despite not achieving his victory in his matchup, Mack seemed to be still relatively pleased with the opportunity to go and compete in this exhibition bout and he would have been even more so after watching his boss, Floyd Mayweather, stop Mikuru Asakura in the second round of their matchup.

Floyd Mayweather stops Mikuru Asakura at Super RIZIN

In the main-event match of Super RIZIN 38, Floyd Mayweather faced MMA fighter Mikuru Asakura in a three-round exhibition bout. The 30-year-old fighter holds a professional record of 16-3 in his MMA career.

The fight turned out as expected in what was a quick night at the office for Mayweather, Asakura was unable to land anything to put the undefeated boxer in any real danger while Mayweather comfortably was able to land his own shots and start to break down his opponent.

And as it seems those shots were beginning to have a damaging effect; Mayweather worked the body early on before landing a shot to the head just before the bell which saw Asakura unable to continue.

In his post-fight interview, Mayweather announced that he would like to return to Japan and RIZIN to compete once again. However, that will most likely take place after his next reported bout in which he is scheduled to take on YouTube celebrity and brother of KSI, Deji.

Chael Sonnen claims Floyd Mayweather Jr is exaggerating his fight purse for his exhibition boxing bout: “He’s getting 8 Million”

Chael Sonnen has questioned the legitimacy of Floyd Mayweather‘s claims after he suggested he would be earning between $15-20 Million for his exhibition boxing bout against Mikuru Asakura. A man normally with the inside knowledge Sonnen has claimed that Mayweather has exaggerated the amount he will be receiving by nearly double ahead of his September […]

Chael Sonnen has questioned the legitimacy of Floyd Mayweather‘s claims after he suggested he would be earning between $15-20 Million for his exhibition boxing bout against Mikuru Asakura.

A man normally with the inside knowledge Sonnen has claimed that Mayweather has exaggerated the amount he will be receiving by nearly double ahead of his September 25^th clash against Asakura.

Speaking on his YouTube channel Sonnen shared his thoughts on just how much Mayweather will truly make this upcoming weekend.

“Floyd is claiming he’s gonna get $20 million for this — I call it ‘rassling because they’re not actually [fighting] — but whatever they’re getting ready to do in Japan, whatever that is that’s going to look like boxing, he’s getting $8 million.”

“Now, eight is a beautiful number. But he claimed he was getting 20. So I feel because I know the real number, that I can’t let it go. I must come to you guys. I have a journalistic obligation to come and inform you it’s actually $8 million and he’s exaggerating.”

It is unknown just how much truth there is to Sonnen’s suggestions but competitors inflating the amount they truly earn is not exactly something you should be surprised by, if true.

Chael Sonnen claims Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Mikura Asakura is scripted

Chael Sonnen did not stop there with his claims surrounding ahead of this weekend’s exhibition bout, he took it one step further to claim that the matchup is all part of a ‘script’ to favour Mayweather.

“If Floyd can go in there and get $8 million for whatever that is and he doesn’t have to work very hard, he doesn’t have to train at all because the script is on his side and they’ve already told him who’s going down and when isn’t that something I’d want to emulate?

“Floyd’s gonna go over to Dubai, he’s gonna do something after this, which will represent the second time that he’s done that, and he’s going to get millions of dollars. I don’t know, I think in Dubai, they’re actual competition, they’re just with bums.

“Those might also be scripted like the stuff he’s doing in Japan, I don’t actually know that, I haven’t got to see one, they’re like little private events.

“This is his second time going back [to Japan],” Chael Sonnen said. “People use Floyd once, they get their ass kicked and they don’t go back to him. It was a terrible deal. These guys are. They paid him $8 million, gave him a script, bringing him back again, giving him $8 million, have him read the script.”

It appears Mayweather is looking to keep himself busy to close the year out with reports suggesting he has already scheduled his next matchup against YouTube celebrity Deji on November 13^th.

Do you believe there is any truth to what Chael Sonnen is suggesting?
