Kevin Lee isn’t too sure about those who bet the house on Floyd Mayweather to defeat Conor McGregor.
Tonight (Aug. 26), Mayweather and McGregor will throw leather inside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Lee will be fighting for the interim Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight title at UFC 216 against Tony Ferguson. With a win, he could be in for a unification bout with McGregor.
Despite that fact, “The Motown Phenom” isn’t ready to dismiss McGregor’s chances tonight. He explained why to the Las Vegas-Review Journal (via Bloody Elbow):
“I don’t know how well Floyd’s preparing, I don’t see any sparring partners (he’s training with). I don’t know; I’m just not liking the approach to his training camp. So, it’ making me a little uneasy about betting the house on Floyd. Floyd can’t underestimate Conor, whatsoever, and he might be doing that. It might a little underestimation of the style, and if you do, you’re gonna get caught, and you’re gonna get clipped, especially with eight-ounce gloves.”
