Here isFloyd Mayweather's Twitter post:

"Let's go Floyd. We have to fight now: 50-0 versus 27-0," Nurmagomedov said with Ellerbe standing next to him smiling. "We are two guys who never lose. In the jungle there is only one king. Of course, I am the king because he cannot drop McGregor but I drop him easily. Let’s go."

Nurmagomedov retained his UFC lightweight crown, beating Conor McGregor by fourth-round submission earlier this month.
