MMA star AJ Mackie is targeting Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather.
The 26-year-old current Bellator featherweight champion has revealed that he would love to test his skills against the best of the best, including Notorious and Mayweather, in a boxing contest.

Mackie has made a habit of saying ‘Money’ in the past, and he told TMZ about his desire to step into the ring with the undefeated boxer.
He said: “I want to test my skills against some of the best and that’s why I’ve always called Floyd. It’s not like, ‘Oh, I want to beat Floyd’.
“I want to test my skills in hand-to-hand combat with one of the best athletes in hand-to-hand combat.”
A TMZ videographer even asked AJ his thoughts on fighting Conor McGregor, and the Californian said he would be proud to end it with The Irishman.
He said: “I’m down for someone. If it’s 145 (lbs), 155, 170. In boxing, I’ll go into 3 weight classes.”
Mayweather and McGregor famously boxed each other in a 2017 exhibition contest.

Floyd won the match by TKO in the 10th round, but both fighters earned huge pay days, somewhere in the region of £75 million, and a rematch could have been set up.
But, before he fights either McGregor or Mayweather, Mackie has more dreams to win at Bellator, after hijacking Patricio “Pitbull” Freire and winning the £145million tournament.
“I would like to be the double champion,” AJ told TMZ.
“Being a double champion is definitely a bucket list. Be a champion-champ and then see where the road is after that.”
