Boxing legend Mike Tyson offers up some advice to Conor McGregor: “Let him get three fights and build his confidence back up”

Cole Shelton - June 3, 2022

Mike Tyson has given some advice to Conor McGregor on who he should fight next. McGregor is currently on a two-fight losing streak after suffering back-to-back losses to Dustin Poirier. ‘Notorious’ and ‘The Diamond’ had their highly anticipated trilogy fight at UFC 264 in July of 2021, where the Irishman suffered a broken leg. Since then, he has been rehabbing and it’s expected he will return sometime by the end of this year or early next, but his next opponent remains uncertain.

Jorge Masvidal doesn’t think Conor McGregor will actually fight him. Recently, Masvidal and McGregor have been going back and forth about a potential fight.

The fight also makes sense given both men are on losing streaks, but for ‘Gamebred’ he isn’t sure if the Irishman takes it. But, if it does happen, Masvidal vows to KO McGregor badly.

Harry Kettle - May 31, 2022

They’ve both teased it on several occasions, they serve as two of the biggest stars in the UFC, and it’d almost certainly be a barnburner of a scrap.
