Mayweather v McGregor: 'UFC will be the real winner'

Mixed martial arts reporter Megan Olivi says it does not matter if Conor McGregor wins or loses against Floyd Mayweather, because the UFC will be the real winner.

Mayweather, regarded - before his 2015 retirement - as the world's best pound-for-pound boxer, will fight UFC star McGregor in a light-middleweight boxing contest in Las Vegas on 26 August.

Olivi says the fight will only attract new fans to the sport, and show that UFC fighters are some of the "best athletes on the planet".
