Fans of both boxing and mixed martial arts will claim vindication for their sport, whether it’s actually deserved or not. In that regard, like almost everything else emanating from Saturday night’s Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Conor McGregor match , we’re going to be left unsatisfied. If that contest was the standard for other fights between different combat forms, well, Mayweather-McGregor went far above and beyond that particular disgrace. To claim that as Mayweather’s 50th triumph against zero defeats, well, let the boxing experts fight that one out. He’s still the biggest star in MMA, with Jon Jones in trouble again and Ronda Rousey a vanquished former champion.
