The world of combat sports was struck with tragedy in 2016 when it was confirmed that Muhammad Ali had passed away at seventy-four years old. The legend’s presence will never be forgotten and as long as there are talented trash-talking fighters like Conor McGregor to keep the tradition going, he won’t be forgotten at all. Of course, there is little to no comparison when putting McGregor and Ali side by side. They are each great in their own right… But it’s going to take a lot more than two championships for Conor to match the credentials of Ali.
