Terence “Bud” Crawford has confirmed Conor McGregor’s recent claims that the two of them were in talks to fight each other in both boxing and MMA.
According to Crawford, Saudi boxing power broker Turki Alalshikh was the one trying to put the deal together, but the whole thing fell apart because Crawford was extremely aware of how badly he’d get beaten up in MMA.
“I told Conor to himself, I said, ‘Hell naw!’” Bud said on a recent episode of Bernie Tha Boxer. “They offered me the fight, me and Conor got on the phone and started politicking to try and figure something out. I just told him, ‘Man, I’m not getting in no f—ing octagon with you so you can be kicking me and elbowing me and s—.’”
