    Just a rumor that has been floated for that past few days. Now he "retires"? Dana White has a major announcement to make as well. Hmmm.

    There isn't enough money in the UFC for him. The top guys are getting 10% of what he made against Hatton and De La Hoya. He could fight both again and make similar amounts. Aside from that, he stands no chance in MMA.

    Floyd going to UFC is like a lawyer taking up a job at KFC.

    As a Promoter or Co-Owner I can see something like that...
    but not as a fighter, unless it happens as an Exhibition boxing rules match vs. a UFC guy of some sort's, but still very far fetched to imgaine something like that... (I guess I just did tho huh? DOH!)

    not gonna happen. as someone already said, they dont have enough money to get Floyd. Dana would have to release like half the roster to afford Floyd. Plus, Floyds mma weight class would be 145, and UFC doesnt go lower than 155.

    Hahahahaha, He wouldn't stay pretty for long. those guys would pound him. It's not the right environment and I think very few top boxers would have a chance. They'd be on their feet for all of 5 seconds before being grappled and kicked lumps out of.

    hes probably going to fight some retired 40 year old dude and take full credit for beating an all time legen. I could just imagine it.
