The 26th of August 2017, is a date that will be remembered for decades to come as a day when two fighting legends went toe to toe inside the boxing ring. Inside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas Floyd “Money” Mayweather, an undefeated five weight division world champion will take on Conor “Notorious” McGregor, himself the UFC Lightweight Champion, and former UFC Featherweight Champion.

In the original Roman calendar the month of August was called Sextilis. This was because it was the sixth month of the year. Later, after January and February were added to the calendar, it became the eighth month of the year. … The month was later renamed Augustus in honour of the first emperor of Rome, Caesar Augustus. I wonder who will be the emperor at the end of the night after the fighters have done their thing. Who do you think will be victorious, do you think the fight will go the distance?
