Kimbo Slice, an amazing street fighter with a vicious punch, KO'ed by a rookie at the very beginning of his match. Ken Shamrock,legendary wrestler who wanted something real,became a legend of MMA, took so many ass beatings at the start of his career that it literally shaped him into the legend he is today. McGregor might have the chops to make it as a boxer but he is entry level stepping into championship level, it won't end well for him. (I wouldn't be surprised if he slipped during the match and did an MMA style move like kicking and lost points)
