McGregor knocks out Aldo to become undisputed champ

“Nobody can take that left hand shot”, McGregor said after the win. That’s when a shirtless McGregor ripped a photo of Aldo in half at a bar in Brazil. “Jose Aldo would fight somebody else”. “Nobody can take that left-hand shot”, McGregor said.

McGregor, a former plumber who was fairly late to take up mixed martial arts as a career, has won 15 consecutive fights since November 2010 while building an global celebrity on his combination of MMA skill and verbal dexterity. I think Aldo should reassess himself while I look to maybe go for the 155-pound belt or maybe I look at Frankie, so there are options.

UFC 194 concluded an unprecedented three-day stretch of three fight cards on the Las Vegas Strip.

McGregor had predicted he would knock Aldo out inside the first round, and while many people doubted him he was true to his word and ended the fight in style.

McGregor backed up all of his talk with his left hand and boy did he shut Aldo up.

“Precision beats power and timing beats speed and that’s what you saw there”. “I’m only warming up”, McGregor said. Should McGregor do so, he’ll face the victor of next month’s Donald Cerrone-Rafael dos Anjos lightweight bout, according to UFC president Dana White.

Conor McGregor has taken to Instagram to thank his family, team and supporters following his 13-second knockout victory over José Aldo in Las Vegas on Saturday.

‘I feel for Jose, he’s a phenomenal champion, we deserved to go a bit longer. The fourth round, though, was much of the same as he was able to bring the champ back to the ground and punished him with a flurry of punches before referee Herb Dean put an end to title fight.

The other Performance of the Night bonus went to Leo Santos, who knocked out Kevin Lee in the first round of their fight, and then bolted from the Octagon.

Aldo came at the 27-year-old Irishman with a right-left combo, the second of which he managed to connect – but McGregor returned with a powerful left, dropping the Brazilian champion senseless. I’ve never been one of those guys who didn’t want to give him credit.

The Notorious has been making predictions about how he will finish his opponents ever since he got into the fight game.
