UFC president Dana White told that Flyod Maywether and UFC would discuss the possibility that the undefeated boxer will pursue a career in MMA.
White, on Wednesday told reporters that the retired boxer from US could come back fight in Octagon in the next year after defeating Conor McGregor.
“We’re talking to Floyd about doing a UFC deal. It’s real. He was talking about boxing with Conor. Was that real?” White said.
“Have you heard Floyd talk about many things that aren’t real? He usually tips his hand when he’s in the media, and then that s*** ends up happening.
“We want to do something with Floyd. Everything is possible. Mayweather against McGregor has happened. Anything is possible.” White added.
White added that he is so impressed by that old boxer. In his last fight, the Money earned over 100 million US dollars, which broadcasted on pay-per-view networks across the world.
“There was no way I thought that fight was going to happen, but when you sit down with a smart guy like Mayweather adviser Al Haymon, a very intelligent guy.” White said.
“And Floyd, as much as he does the money thing and this and that, he was actually very easy to work with. I was impressed.” White added.

Earlier this month, Mayweather told he could sign a contract with UFC. He claimed to be ready to embark on the MMA. Of course, this idea is not gratuitous.
“They called me not long after and asked me to come back. I could come back immediately. If I wanted, I could go back to UFC right away.” Mayweather said to Fight Hype.
“I could sign a contract of three or four fights and make billions. Remember, I’m Floyd Money Mayweather. You love me and I love you too.” he added.
