Top Rank Boxing Promoter Bob Arum is proposing a 2-fight deal between Pound 4 Pound WBO welterweight boxing champion Terence ‘Bud’ Crawford and UFC welterweight superstar Conor ‘Notorious’ McGregor. Arum is promoting that the first fight between the two combatants will be inside of the UFC octagon and the second fight to be held inside of a boxing ring.

Now Arum advised that Crawford does have a wrestling background which gives him a chance to do well against McGregor inside of the octagon. We all know, however, that McGregor has no chance of beating Crawford in a boxing match. Will Terence ‘Bud’ Crawford sign off on this?
From a money standpoint, this would be a great opportunity for Crawford and McGregor. For Crawford, however, he is an undefeated Pound 4 Pound boxing champ so should he even consider getting into an octagon with McGregor?
His boxing legacy would not be tarnished by any means if he decides to dance with McGregor in an octagon, but not sure how the boxing world will take Crawford’s decision if he does this. The idea of Crawford and McGregor facing off in each other’s combat sports realms could be entertaining to see given that they are 2 superior athletes at their crafts, and highly confident in their skills to dust off any combatant no matter what the rules are.
With that said, however, the answer to the age-old question “who would win if you match up a boxer against an MMA fighter?” is always based on the realm the particular bout and rules will take place. The boxer will beat the MMA fighter in a boxing ring and the MMA fighter will beat a boxer inside of the octagon. It’s that simple.
In conclusion, these boxer vs. MMA matchups are entertaining, but the outcome will be the same based on the combat sports realm.
