Las Vegas, NV – Following weeks of promo, undefeated world champion boxer Floyd “Money” Mayweather and UFC Lightweight champion Conor McGregor finally jumped in the ring on Saturday night (August 26) at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
After a brief delay due to unforeseen production issues, the first round eventually kicked off shortly after midnight EST. McGregor hung in for 10 exhaustive rounds, but Mayweather emerged victorious after the referee stepped in to stop the savage beating.
Mayweather’s record is now 50-o.

Night was predictable: Irish/MMA friends knowing Conor'd lose but wanting to party, Black friends overly excited like Floyd is their uncle 😂
