To the surprise of many, the boxing superfight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor actually turned out to be an entertaining and somewhat competitive bout.
McGregor, the current UFC lightweight champion, was finished in the 10th round but put up a good fight and landed frequently in the early rounds.
Many were impressed with the show, but former WEC and UFC lightweight champ Benson Henderson thought it was a freak show and made a mockery of combat sports.
Speaking to Brett Okamoto of ESPN in a recent interview, ‘Bendo’, who now competes under the Bellator banner, compared May-Mac to the fixed outcomes in professional wrestling.
