    Conor McGregor's successful return to the UFC has sparked interest from an old foe

    Conor McGregor's successful return to the UFC has sparked interest from an old foe


    McGregor has defeated Donald 'Cowboy' Cerrone at UFC 246 in Las Vegas, winning by technical knockout after 40 seconds.

    Afterwards, boxer Floyd Mayweather posted what looked to be photoshopped promotional poster on Instagram for a potential rematch with McGregor.

    The pair fought with the boxing gloves in 2017, which Mayweather won via technical knockout.
