    A real fight???? If McGregor were to stand up and box. Rios would knock him out cold.

    I'm not saying he wouldn't but Rios wouldn't last 10 seconds in a fight where there was no rules.....therefore the run up to the "fight" would be anything but epic....just look at the run up to the Joy v CM fight.

    No he wouldn't. Rios has terrible defense. He wouldn't be able to avoid that left. McGregor also has great footwork.

    McGregor is all wrong for Rios. Rios is a volume punching plodder with some power at lower weight classes, but not enough to really trouble McGregor.

    McGregor would KO him early.

    Rios is one of the best inside boxers fighting today. His chin is iron. Rios only struggles against boxers with great hand and foot speed. McGregor has neither.

    Rios' defense is greatly underrated.

    Why was this moved to the MMA forum? It is about real boxing not enertainment sports.

    not so sure as rios is known to get into fights outside the ring and comes from a rough background so he knows how to fight. do not get carried away thinking mma translates into actual fighting anymore than boxing does
