After weeks of shit talking, Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor finally went head-to-head in the boxing ring on Saturday night.

People in Las Vegas at the T-Mobile Arena were ecstatic. People hosting fight night parties at home were excited. And social media was buzzing over Mayweather’s theatrics from his grand entrance to the ring earlier this evening.

With Meek Mill’s "I’ma Boss" as his music of choice, Mayweather decided to rock a ski mask in an attempt to intimidate McGregor.

What people can’t get over is how Mayweather coming out in a ski mask reminded them of Kodak Black. If you remember, he famously appeared on The Breakfast Club sporting one to do a legendary (and awkward) interview.

It wasn’t just Kodak Black comparisons, either. Props to the guy who made a Kylo Ren reference.

Mayweather ended up taking the victory tonight, so, in a way, it worked.
