"It is an honour to sign this record breaking deal alongside my partners Zuffa LLC, The Ultimate Fighting Championship and Paradigm Sports Management," stated UFC champion Conor McGregor, who released a statement to TheMacLife.com confirming that he signed his side of the contract for the highly-anticipated showdown with undefeated former pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather. UFC President Dana White first broke the news late last night during the TNT postgame show following Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
"The first, and most important part of this historic contract has now officially been signed off on. Congratulations to all parties involved. We now await Al Haymon and his boxer's signature in the coming days," McGregor added. FightHype.com reached out to a source with knowledge of the negotiations who confirmed, "the fight is 100% happening."
