The bout was vintage McGregor, as he gauged the distance, got his range and then unleashed pinpoint accurate combinations that halted the Philadelphia veteran in the second round. With that victory, McGregor took Alvarez’ lightweight title, making him the first fighter in UFC history to hold two belts simultaneously.

On January 18, he’s back. (Watch on UFC FIGHT PASS)
