NEW YORK (AP) – UFC fighter Islam Makhachev stood inside the cage at a packed Barclays Center and asked for the big Money fight.

“Hey, Dana! Give me Mayweather,” Makhachev said.

The Brooklyn crowd got a kick out that challenge for UFC President Dana White to make a never-going-to-happen fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. early in the UFC 208 card Saturday night.

Money May was not in the in the house.

But the home of the NBA’s Nets and NHL’s Islanders was otherwise full for UFC’s second trip to New York in three months.
