Conor McGregor will have all title belts with him for Floyd Mayweather fight
By Mike Heck
Floyd Mayweather has won multiple championships in boxing, but Conor McGregor will be showing off his multiple title belts when they meet on Aug. 26.
Conor McGregor has won five championship belts in two well-known MMA promotions throughout his illustrious career and “The Notorious” will be bringing all of the gold to the T-Mobile Arena on Saturday night.
McGregor, the reigning UFC lightweight champion, will take on Floyd “Money” Mayweather in their highly anticipated boxing match this Saturday night in Las Vegas. According to Tony McGregor, Conor’s father, his son has asked for all of his championship belts for his bout this Saturday and he will get exactly that.
“Received an official communique from the McGregor camp, deep in the Nevada desert,” Tony McGregor posted to his Instagram account on Sunday. “The Champ champ has requested his belts be flown to him in USA. Roger that affirmative.”
Of course, we know Conor McGregor has won the UFC interim featherweight, undisputed featherweight and lightweight championships in the world’s premier MMA promotion, but McGregor was also a two-division champion in the Cage Warriors promotion. McGregor captured the Cage Warriors featherweight title with a second round rear naked choke submission over Dave Hill at Cage Warriors 47 back in June 2012. A little over six months later, in what turned out to be his final fight before heading to the UFC, McGregor knocked Ivan Buchinger out cold with his famous left hand to capture the promotion’s lightweight title as well.
