Conor McGregor might be one of the best boxers in the UFC, finishing almost all of his fights via knockout, but the lightweight champion has never stepped foot in the boxing ring on the world’s stage.

In fact, ‘The Notorious’ has never stepped foot in the boxing ring for a professional fight, which is why many pundits have concluded that the Irishman stands no chance against pound-for-pound boxing great Floyd Mayweather Jr. on August 26.

McGregor and Mayweather are set to square off in a 12-round boxing match, but former WBC welterweight champ Victor Ortiz doesn’t understand why the fight was booked in the first place.
