While McGregor goes back to Ultimate Fighting Champion (UFC), still holding two belts at once.Through the history of boxing and mixed martial arts (MMA), a fight like this is really rare. Mayweather, the 49 winning streak holder, coming out of retirement for the second time, adds another easy win. McGregor, with high hopes, lost the fight. Though it was an interesting match, the fight was obviously hysterical. A MMA fighter lost in a boxing match with the world’s greatest boxer. McGregor had his ego way to over his head and shot to high from his expected target. As much as I, myself, wanted to have McGregor win because he’s the underdog, his brute force wasn’t able to hold against the pure technique of Mayweather. From the start of the fight, about the first 4 rounds, McGregor and Mayweather were able to be head to head. McGregor with the constant jabs and Mayweather with his minimal accurate shots. After the 5th round, McGregor progressively got more sloppy. McGregor became more sluggish while Mayweather’s plan was working. Mayweather’s plan was to let McGregor try to go all out at first so he would become sluggish throughout the rest of the fight while he maintains himself and not go all out. Round 10, the last match of the fight. Mayweather eventually continuously kept on getting accurate shots and the referee had to call knockout by technicality. After the fight, both Mayweather and McGregor, showed great sportsmanship after words despite all the slander thrown at each other before the main event. Mayweather gets to retire his career with a flawless 50-0 winning streak.
