Believe it or not, it is happening. Saturday, Aug. 26 will be one of the most in recent sports history. Wading passed the piled media doubt and flawed organizing facets, Ireland’s proverbial UFC champion Conor McGregor will tiptoe around the ropes against the undefeated five-division boxing titleholder Floyd Mayweather.
This is a clash of extravagant egos just as much as it is an uncanny combat sports crossover. Because of this, along with many other brow-raising points, people are understandably questioning the legitimacy of this super fight.
Does money overstep logic in this boxing-meets-MMA circus? Almost certainly. Regardless of the reasoning, the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas may be hosting the sport-crossing battle of the century.
