Virat Kohli salutes Conor McGregor after loss against Floyd Mayweather

Conor Mcgregor may have lost the 'richest fight in the world' against Floyd Mayweather, but he has not his fans' trust and belief in him. One of such fans is India's cricket captain Virat Kohli.   

Mayweather dominated the Irish MMA fighter and won the match via technical knockout (TKO) in the 10th round. Mcgregor, who is a Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter came into this match without any experience of a professional boxing match.

India captain Virat Kohli took to Twitter to praise the fighting spirit of the MMA fighter. He tweeted, "To all those who said @TheNotoriousMMA won't even last 1 round, he went through 10!!!! A legend & an epitome of self belief. Hats off man"
