He said that thinks Conor McGregor has good odds against Floyd Mayweather, and then went on to joke, “Then again, I live my life in fantasy.”
Stallone is, as you can imagine, a huge boxing fan, but what you may not know is that he also is a minority owner in the UFC.
The 70-year-old actor added, “I always have the underdog.”

The former California governor is also a huge boxing fan and frequently attends high-profile fights.
