How Conor McGregor, Anderson Silva are wrapped up in Misfits 17 storylines

As a seasoned gamer of the ring, having witnessed countless battles in both MMA and boxing, I must say that Misfits Boxing 17 was an event that stirred a unique blend of anticipation and curiosity. The presence of UFC legends Conor McGregor and Anderson Silva, albeit indirectly, added an extra layer of intrigue to the card.

Event 17 from Misfits Boxing occurred on a Saturday, August 17th at Dublin, Ireland’s 3Arena. Typically, this boxing card wouldn’t garner much interest among MMA enthusiasts. However, the involvement of Conor McGregor and Anderson Silva in the event’s promotion has sparked curiosity within the MMA community. Here’s why:

Two gentlemen were depicted on the card, each having ties with two renowned UFC icons. Gabriel Silva is Anderson Silva’s son and had a match against Anthony Taylor, a previous MMA fighter turned boxer. However, it was Silva who emerged victorious in their bout through a third-round knockout. Post his win, Taylor challenged Darren Till, a former UFC competitor. “Hey Darren Till,” Taylor shouted inside the cage, “I know you crave that action. I know everyone wants to see you get beaten up. Let’s do it!”

In another connection, we have Dave Fogarty, famously recognized as Conor McGregor’s personal photographer. Unfortunately, Fogarty met defeat in his match against Deen the Great through a third-round Technical Knockout (TKO). Within the MMA community, he is known by the moniker “Ginger Beard Photos”. He has been capturing stunning photos of McGregor during his global travels, having documented the former UFC double champion extensively.
