When Alex Pereira and Ilia Topuria came up short in their attempts to become two-division champions, the boxing world wasted no time celebrating.
Conor McGregor wasn't having it.
In this video I break down why so many boxers completely misunderstand what MMA fighters are trying to achieve. Moving up in weight to chase greatness is one of the biggest risks in combat sports, yet failures are often mocked instead of respected.
I'll also discuss the atmosphere surrounding UFC Freedom 250, why the crossover rivalry between boxing and MMA is stronger than ever, and why Conor's comments struck a nerve with so many fans.
Do you agree with Conor McGregor, or are the boxers right?
