Mayweather vs. McGregor: A Guide

I never thought Floyd Mayweather would fight Conor McGregor. As someone who has been in the fight business for over 20 years, it just didn’t seem like a deal that would get done.
But here we are. On Saturday, the UFC lightweight champion will cross from Octagon to ring to face the best boxer of this era.
It’s a fight that has been polarizing to some, intriguing to others, but no matter what side you’re on, it’s likely that you’re talking about it and will be watching this weekend.
As part of my duties as editorial director for the UFC, I’ve written more words about this fight than any other, and if you want to check some of them out, click below to not only hear from the combatants, but from some of the best minds in combat sports.
