| Conor McGregor patiently watching Money Mayweather making it rain. |
MMA King vs Boxing King
By: Sani Correia
Everyone and their Grandparents are paying close attention to the lead up of "The Notorious One" Conor McGregor vs Floyd "Money" Mayweather. The press tour started on Tuesday July 11th, 2017. To date they have visited LA, Toronto, and Brooklyn, and today they will land in London. So far this press conference tour is shaping up to be more entertaining than the thought of the actual fight. These 2 individuals have bantering back and forth like a couple of high school kids talking smack to entertain the masses. The fight is set to take place on August 26th, 2017. This fight will go down in history as it's the first time a MMA athlete has crossed over to the Boxing world. No let it be known they are 2 completely fighting worlds, which is making this bout more exciting than watching your first child being born to some die hard fans. Connor is set to make 100 million for this fight regardless if he wins or looses, tripling his net-worth.
Conors future with the UFC is on hold right now. However Conor mentioned that he enjoys a true fight, saying that boxing is no way a true fight. McGregor said "He can't wait to go back to a true fight. placing a shin bone on someones nose bones is and indescribable feeling." It would be nice to see Conor defend a title as since winning 2 titles in 2 different weight classes, he has not defended either. Begging the question, is he really a champ?

On another note, Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson has won ESPY award for "Best Fighter". He actually beat out "The Notorious One" in Conor McGregor. Johnson has finally got the recognition he deserves. With a record of 26-2-1 (12 straight wins) Demetrious Johnson is the number 1 pound for pound fighter but gets no love due to the fact that your "occasional" fan wants to see knockouts and slug fest style fighting. Demetrious fights at a tiny 125lbs, which when your that small it's kind of hard to generate enough power to know someone out. If you have not had a chance to watch Johnson fight and your an MMA fan you have no idea what your missing.
