Conor McGregor bumped into Floyd Mayweather Sr backstage at the Gervonta Davis vs. Ryan Garcia fight last weekend.
Davis stopped Garcia with a brutal body shot in the seventh round to record a huge win, inflicting 'King Ry' with the first defeat of his professional career.
The big showdown between Davis and Garcia attracted some of the biggest names in the fight game as superstars flocked to the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

One of the stars in attendance was McGregor, who spoke to Garcia in his dressing room following the catchweight bout.
The former UFC champion offered his support to the 24-year-old and said he wants to see a rematch without the rehydration clause.
"He’s 1-0 on you, you’re the two biggest names in the division, I want to see it again," the UFC fighter told Garcia. "I want to see it again now, and I want to see it with no rehydration clause. Seriously.
"All the respect in the world to you. You’re the future, you’re the future of this game, and I’m going to watch you all the way."

McGregor also met Mayweather Sr as the pair had a hilarious chat, with the Irishman hoping to do some work with the veteran boxing coach.
Someone captured their animated chat, with the 'Notorious' showing off his hands during the clip.
McGregor, who fought Mayweather Jr in a money-spinning boxing bout in August 2017, hasn't fought since his crushing first-round defeat to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021.

But his return is scheduled for this year as he's set to take on Michael Chandler, having coached against him on the upcoming The Ultimate Fighter.
The 34-year-old will be looking to claim his first win inside the Octagon since January 2020 as he looks to snap his two-fight losing skid.
