\"\"Just about everybody wants to have a crack at Irish superstar Conor McGregor<\/strong> both in a boxing ring as well as in the UFC\u2019s Octagon. McGregor hasn\u2019t fought for the UFC in 2017 and any chances of him making an appearance at UFC219<\/strong> on December 30th has been ruled out after reports surfaced that the UFC had pulled him from the card due to his recent behaviour which included slapping a boxing commissioner and pushing referee Marc Goddard<\/strong> during a Bellator event in Ireland.<\/p>\n

Boxing hall of famer Oscar De La Hoya<\/a> who retired from professional fighting nearly 10 years ago is apparently looking at making a one-fight comeback and announced that he wants to fight Conor McGregor as he believes he can knock him out in under 2 rounds. McGregor has only fought once in a boxing ring and that was in August when Mayweather had a TKO in the 10th round.<\/p>\n

Oscar De La Hoya was very critical over the Mayweather vs. McGregor fight and said it was a circus<\/a>, so in a way it is surprising to see that De La Hoya now wants to get into the ring with McGregor. De La Hoya fought Mayweather in his prime and lost and is probably looking to make a statement by saying that he can do better than Mayweather and finish McGregor within 2 rounds.<\/p>\n
