There is a full slate of preseason NFL games airing Saturday night, but the football action is only a precursor to the night’s main event: the highly anticipated Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor showdown. Tampa Bay defensive end George Johnson knows as much.
Johnson was probably anxious for his team’s week three game against Cleveland to wrap up so he could tune into the fight. Johnson sported cleats bearing the faces of Mayweather and McGregor during warm-ups Saturday. The cleats were remarkably lifelike.
The cleats were designed and created by artist Jason Hullfish.

Johnson foresees Mayweather winning the fight.
“Floyd by unanimous decision,” Johnson told ESPN. “He will knock down Conor early in the fight.”
