Floyd Mayweather's trainer worried about Conor McGregor 'doing something stupid' in fight

One point of discussion leading up to the Aug. 26 Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor showdown is whether the UFC lightweight champion, given it’s his first professional boxing match, could get so frustrated that he’d resort to illegal MMA tactics.

As USA TODAY Sports reported, McGregor (21-3 MMA, 9-1 UFC) is contractually prohibited from “going rogue” on Mayweather (49-0 boxing). UFC President Dana White even attempted to quell any fears.

“There is no way that will happen,” White said. “That is absolutely in the contract, No.1. No. 2, this is a boxing match under the rules of the Nevada State Athletic Commission. When you talk about a guy like Floyd Mayweather – the lawsuit if that ever happened … you all know how much Conor likes money. Conor would depart with a whole lot of money if that ever happened.”

Still, though, Mayweather’s assistant trainer, Nate Jones, expressed his concerns about what could happen in an interview with Submission Radio.
