Rogan: How McGregor can defeat Mayweather

UFC commentator Joe Rogan thinks Conor McGregor just might have a chance at beating his more fancied rival Floyd Mayweather.

While most believe Mayweather, who currently holds a 49-0 career boxing record is a big favourite for the potential bout, Rogan sees a clear path to victory for the Irish superstar.

Speaking on his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan outlined how the biggest name in UFC could win the boxing bout.

"There’s something about [Conor McGregor]. I’m telling you, there’s something about that dude," Rogan said.

"He’s got something going on. He’s got a little something extra special but he would need everything to line up.

"Mayweather would have to dismiss him as a threat. He’d have to not train hard enough, he’d have to not seriously consider the possibility that Conor connects on him and knocks him out.

"And then Conor would have to do some roughhousing. He’d have to hold him in the clinch.

"He’d have to hold him and hit him. He’d have to try and get off as many shots and bully him around and wear him out.

"It’s a possibility. He’s a much bigger man. He’s a much bigger man.

"If you compare the two of them frame-wise, if they ever do do it, and they’re standing right at each other, looking down at each other doing eye-to-eye, you’re gonna go ‘oh, s**t.’ [Conor]’s a big f**k.

"He can make that 145-pound cut when he’s on death’s door, but Mayweather makes it easy."

For the moment though, both men's biggest challenge is just to get the fight to happen.

But if it is, don't count the Irishman out.
