A Floyd Mayweather fight in the UFC is close to becoming a reality.
"Eventually we're gonna apply for [an MMA license] and hopefully we can fight," the boxing legend told TMZ Sports.
He'll be trained by UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley. The transition to mixed martial arts will not be easy, but Mayweather believes with proper preparation he could be ready soon.
"Even if it takes 6 to 8 months -- whatever it takes. We want to make sure that everything is done correctly. And everything is done the right way," he said.
Although a rematch with Conor McGregor is the ultimate goal, Mayweather will most likely face an opponent with less experience the first time he steps into the octagon.
Former WWE champion CM Punk is rumored to be someone the UFC might consider. He has a record of 0-1.
