I decided to scrap the news roundup today in favor of bringing to your attention something arguably more interesting – i.e., Floyd Mayweather Jr. (a.k.a. “Pretty Boy�) trash-talking the greatest thing since sliced bread – the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

“UFC ain’t s—,” Mayweather said. “It ain’t but a fad. … These are guys who couldn’t make it in boxing. So they do [mixed martial arts]. Boxing is the best sport in the world and it’s here to stay.”

Is this guy for real or is he just fishing to create a sh*t storm of controversy before his fight with Oscar De La Hoya, who incidentally respects UFC?

Either way, Oscar De La Hoya vs. Mayweather Jr. is still a bout to watch. But Pretty Boy should settle this like a real man would, don’t you think? After all, the talk is cheap.

Almost every week I hear guys at the gym trash-talking Jay Cutler, Ronnie Coleman, you name it, but they can’t even bench press their own bodyweight. I think Mayweather Jr. should stop acting like a little, well, you know…and step up to the plate.

If UFC is nothing but a fad, he has nothing to lose, right? Come on Pretty Boy, show us what’ve got!

Speaking of UFC, if you’re looking to “charge your batteries� with the proper amount of adrenaline – which should help you get through a typical Monday – this is the video to watch. Happy charging!
