Connor "The Notorious" McGregor is the first fighter in the UFC's 23-year history to hold two weight class titles simultaneously. He is currently the reigning featherweight champion and is the new lightweight champion after he defeated Eddie Alvarez in convincing fashion in the main event of UFC 205.
Although McGregor wasn't able to rearrange the facial structure of Alvarez like he said he would, the fighter dominated Alvarez the entire fight, landing his left hand and a few combinations to the face of Alvarez. Alvarez went down three times in the first round before 'Big' John McCarthy ended the fight in the second round when he went down for the fourth time.
McGregor even taunted Alvarez in the second round. He occasionally put his hands behind his back, daring Alvarez to try and hit him. It didn't take look before Connor McGregor put Alvarez out for the win when he hit a solid punch to the face.
"My dream has become a reality," said McGregor. When the belt was presented to him, McGregor once again displayed his "badass" antics. "I spend a lot of time slinging everyone in the company, I've ridiculed everyone on the roster, I'd like to take the time to apologize to absolutely nobody. A double champ does whatever the (expletive) he wants," the UFC fighter said.
Connor McGregor is now 21-3 in his MMA career and 8-1 in the UFC. He's lone loss came against Nate Diaz earlier this year, a loss which the Dublin native avenged five months later. He's also won 17 of his last 18 fights.
Last year, he was asked what will happen if he does win the lightweight title. "If I go up to that lightweight division, there's no way in hell that I'm vacating my belt (featherweight title)," said McGregor. "There will be a belt on one shoulder, and a belt on the other," he added. For more UFC news and updates, keep it here on Gamenguide.
