Floyd “Money” Mayweather and UFC Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor are two of the best strikers in all of combat sports.
Next month, McGregor will make his professional boxing debut against Mayweather, who is one of the greatest fighters to ever put on a pair of gloves.
In preparation for the fight, the people at Fightnomics broke down who are the best strikers in MMA, along with who is the best at defending against strikes to the head.
In the chart below, Fightnomics compared all the fighters in the UFC who have spent more than 75 minutes inside the Octagon since 2016.
McGregor is among the top fighters in the sport when it comes to accuracy and defense, but when you add Mayweather to the mix, he stands above them all.
You can see all the data for yourself in the chart below.
Mayweather vs. McGregor will take place Aug. 26 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
