The Wide World of Combat Sports
Former champion lightweight boxer Vasiliy Lomachenko (ranked #2 in the division by Ring Magazine) is fighting Richard Commey (ranked #5) on Saturday night. The fight is on ESPN so they will most likely time the boxing main event to be right after UFC 269's main event, at least if they are smart and want it to get views. This is only Lomachenko's second fight that isn't for a title since he began fighting professionally after winning back-to-back Olympic golds in two different weight classes and immediately won a belt in his very first pro fight.
