UFC legend Chael Sonnen has made a bold claim that Conor McGregor "beat up" Floyd Mayweather during his 2017 defeat.
McGregor made the switch from UFC to the boxing ring in 2017 being defeated by legend Floyd Mayweather in a high-profile event at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. He started brightly but was comprehensively stopped by Mayweather in the tenth stanza, who moved his professional record to 50-0 in his final fight.
The scorecards read 87-83, 89-82 and 89-81 Mayweather's favour at the time the contest was halted after dominating large parts of the fight. Sonnen has now claimed that McGregor was on the receiving end of poor scorecards from the Nevada State Athletic Commission. "12-to-1 underdog. That line is not going to hold, I'm telling you right now, but [Diaz] is a 12-to-1 underdog," Sonnen said during a YouTube video when comparing the boxing clash to Nate Diaz's upcoming fight with Khamzat Chimaev.
