TMZ Sports caught up with former boxing champ Andre Berto and asked him about Mayweather v McGregor. Berto was complimentary of his UFC buddy Conor and said he would like to get in the octagon. Berto said his family has been involved in MMA for some time and he wants to be the first boxing champion to get a world title in UFC.
We are not sure how serious Berto is but he said, “Tell Dana (White) to call me. I’ll go to the UFC.” Berto lost to Shawn Porter back in April and his draw as a boxer is dwindling.
With the “relative success” that McGregor had against Floyd Mayweather I have a feeling we might see a lot of fighters in both sports attempting the crossover.
