Demi Lovato is giving her predictions for the highly anticipated fight between MMA superstar Conor McGregor and unbeaten boxing champ Floyd Mayweather. The 24-year-old pop singer may not be completely confident about who will actually win the fight, but she does know who she's rooting for...Conor McGregor.
The "Sorry Not Sorry" songstress spoke with TMZ Sports about the boxing match, which is set to go down on Saturday, August 26 at the T-Mobile Arena on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada.

"Ok, here's the thing. Floyd is obviously a boxer, and he's obviously very, very good at it," Lovato said. "But Conor's crazy. And I want Conor to win because it would be so good for MMA."
Lovato is not only a huge fighting fan but also she trains herself with some of the top fighters in the world at Unbreakable Gym in Los Angeles. Earlier this year, she dished on how training and fighting are "therapeutic" for her.
"I feel the most confident when I'm in the gym," she said while talking Us Weekly. "Whenever I'm training — whether it's boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai, jiu-jitsu."
Lovato also explained that she has a simple strategy to keep herself being positive while fighting and in life in general.
"I stay confident in my own life by daily affirmations — looking in the mirror, telling myself I'm beautiful no matter what and just learning to accept my flaws for what they are and knowing that, you know, my curves are beautiful, and I am who I am," she said. "I hope to inspire [young women] by getting in the gym, getting healthy, feeling comfortable in their skin."
Last month, Lovato took to Instagram to unleash a video that showed her slamming a fellow fighter to the ground. It's clear to see from the clip that she has some serious skills!
