A simple, jumbling of words in an intro could not describe the life of Muhammad Ali. He lived more in his 74 years than we could ever dream. A pioneer, rebel, activist and a man who never let anyone shake his beliefs. One of, if not the greatest boxer of all time, Ali’s influence transcended boxing, sports and he has become a cultural icon for generations. The impact of his passing has touched the whole world and especially the MMA community. UFC fighters react to his death below.
Nobody will ever come close to this mans greatness.
And if they do, they better wake up and apologise. #RIPAli pic.twitter.com/ED2wgignB2— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) June 4, 2016
