[Grammar] With the comma

[Vking]

Hello Teachers,

"Conor McGregor is keen to face Floyd Mayweather, who won all 49 of his fights from 1996-2015."


In the above sentence, the relative cause is meant to be referred to Floyd Mayweather. Is it correct grammatically to use a comma to achieve such effect or without?

Please enlighten me!

Thank you!

Thank you for that!

On the other hand, would the sentence carry a different meaning if the comma is omitted?

... would the sentence carry a different meaning if the comma [STRIKE]is[/STRIKE] was omitted?

It would be incorrect

Thanks for both answers!

But why should my question be 'was', as I am talking in the present tense?

Thank you! The answer has clarified a lot of questions for me.

One more question, if I asked the question in a different way as follows: " Will it make any difference if the comma is omitted ?" ,is it correct?

That wording is correct. Don't put a space after an opening quotation mark or before a question mark or a comma.
