The biggest ongoing story in combat sports today surrounds a possible boxing mega-fight between transcendent MMA star Conor McGregor and boxing great Floyd Mayweather. For a time, of course, this potential showdown looked like a near impossibility. With each passing day, however, there seems to be more and more reason to believe a Mayweather vs. McGregor boxing match could actually happen. Were Mayweather and McGregor to meet in the boxing ring, it could safely be referred to as the biggest fight in combat sports history. Given this, it would also go down as one of the most lucrative fights – if not the most lucrative fight – in the history of fighting sports.

Boxing promoter Bob Arum has continued to be very vocal in regards to a potential Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather boxing match.

‘Irish’ Joe Duffy was at one time one of the most watched prospects in the UFC. Prior to McGregor’s UFC 196 loss to Nate Diaz, Duffy was the last man to defeat McGregor, submitting the Irish superstar in the 1st round of their Cage Warriors 39 scrap in 2010.

UFC lightweight champion and former UFC featherweight champion, Conor McGregor may possess some of the best knockout power in the UFC’s 145 or 155 pound divisions.

UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor is currently transfixed on a potential boxing mega fight with recently un-retired great Floyd Mayweather. And though this fight initially looked like a downright impossibility, it is starting to look like a real possibility – even a likelihood. If McGregor does end up competing in a boxing match with Mayweather, it’ll be a huge moment for combat sports, and an exciting moment for the fans. It will also be a frustrating moment for Tony Ferguson who, having won nine-straight fights, has more than earned a shot at the lightweight title McGregor currently holds.
