Current UFC lightweight champion of the world Conor McGregor surprised a lot of people with his performance against Floyd Mayweather last night in Las Vegas.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cMystic Mac\u201d had a very strong opening four rounds, which saw him land some solid body shots along with his well known straight left hand. <\/p>\n

Unfortunately for fans of the Irish superstar, McGregor would begin to fatigue in the later rounds and that is when Floyd Mayweather began to unleash his talents.<\/p>\n

Mayweather would batter McGregor with punches in round nine and continued his onslaught in round ten which forced the referee to step in and put a stop to the action<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Despite the setback, McGregor’s stock only increased from his fight with Floyd Mayweather.<\/p>\n

Conor’s long time coach John Kavanagh released the following statement following the conclusion of his star pupils first professional boxing match.<\/p>\n

\n

Trained our hardest and gave it our best shot. Came up short this time but we'll be back. Win or Learn <\/p>\n
