The UFC legend was interested but failed to agree terms with Floyd Mayweather's team.
, he was offered a mixed-code bout against Mayweather by a promoter, who proposed a 'fair compromise between boxing and MMA'.
"I was retired and was like 'You know what, this one, I'm interested'. Then he flew in, I was in Austin, Texas."He said, 'It's boxing fight but in an octagonal ring'. I'm like 'Okay, but what's the rules, what's the compromise?' The Canadian added: "'No, no, it's not going to work'. I said, 'Okay, then allow me to throw him down'."'Oh, he's never wanted to go to the floor'. I'm like 'I'm not saying go to the floor, I'm saying throw him down. Take him down and then we stand back up'.
