Rizin FF dropped jaws throughout combat sports when it announced recently that Floyd Mayweather Jr. was going to fight Tenshin Nasukawa on New Year’s Eve. Well, as it turns out, Mayweather Jr. says he never signed on to any bout with the rising star.

Apparently, Conor McGregor was unaware of who Tenshin Nasukawa is, when he fired off an expletive-filled response to the news that the rising star is going to battle Floyd Mayweather Jr. next. Well, now the striking sensation has responded, and it appears to be a bit of a back-handed one…

Conor McGregor has made plenty of headlines in the past for making fiery and or controversial statements, and now the star’s done so again, following news of the Floyd Mayweather Jr. – Tenshin Nasukawa bout.

The combat sports world has been thrown a massive curveball, as Japan’s Rizin FF promotion has announced that Floyd Mayweather Jr. is going to battle rising, striking sensation, Tenshin Nasukawa at its New Year’s Eve card…

Conor McGregor is probably very sad that the next Floyd Mayweather Gravy Train will roll out of the station without him. Oh well.
