Conor McGregor is representing MMA

Fighters, practitioners, fans alike; the entire Mixed Martial Arts community should be supporting him instead of hoping for his defeat. Regardless of how you feel about the entire "circus" matchup, this is only but a good thing for both sports.

We should be rooting for "our guy" to win. This fight will almost put an end to the whole Boxer vs. MMA fighter debate and the MMA communty will enjoy the spoils with Conor as the victor.

This type of matchup essentially formed from the root of combat sports. Style vs. style* (although McGregor will not be allowed to use his full abilities), the "Karate" guy vs. the boxer. It is truly a throwback to the early days of combat.

We all tuned into the freakshow matchups that Pride and similar fights where fighters from a respective martial art fought one another but never really in their primes (Couture/Toney) but  now we will witness two fighters at the top of their games face off in the fight of this century. 

I love fights. I don’t necessarily enjoy one-sided ass kickings.

Shut up with this stupid angle.

It's a fucking boxing match with nothing do with mma or style vs style.

He has guts putting himself out there like this. I’m sure the money helps. But still he is going to be watched by the sports fans around the world. I wish him the best.

LETS GO!!!!!!!    

;)

Its not a win for both sports. If Conor were to land the big shot boxing would be done.

Boxing will do to MMA what GJJ did to the traditional martial arts. MMA gyms will look like Cobra Kai after Daniel Larusso won the All Valley .

Conor isn’t even the best boxer in MMA

You can't sit there and say that Boxing is different from MMA punching? There are certain techniques, movements and ways of throwing a strike that is not seen in boxing. This has everything to do with style vs. style. Stop being a bitch and enjoy this for what it is. A fight.

DanChow - It's a huge money maker for Conor and Floyd that's it, end of story.

Of course it is but there's more to it than that. We just need to look past all the bs from the media and view the matchup from a different perspective.

Don't care for mayweather fights but I do care for Conner. Can't wait for this 

In the words of Schuab if you're an MMA fan and you aren't rooting for Mac in this fight............. Lose my number

He's representing himself in a boxing match. MMA has nothing to do w this exhibition imo. 

I want him to win but the chances he does are almost 0.

I’ll still be watching.

I'm being a bitch? Fuck off and learn to comprehend.

I will enjoy this fight and I don't need you to tell me who to root for "for the honour of the MMA's!"

First time in my life I'll be cheering for Floyd.

Wow, salty in here…
