Tonight, the eyes of the sporting world tune into the fight between UFC star Conor McGregor and undefeated boxer Floyd Mayweather. A little over 11 years ago, Tom Zbikowski, Notre Dame’s version of McGregor, made his professional debut in Madison Square Garden.
With the majority of the football team in attendance, Zbikowski stepped in the ring against Robert Bell. Bell, a native of Akron, strode into the arena wearing an Ohio State uniform. The previous January, the Irish fell to the Buckeyes, 34-20.
Bell clearly irked the Irish Safety.
