UFC history was made on November 12, 2016.
On that night, in the very first UFC event held in the historic Madison Square Garden in New York City, Conor McGregor delivered a faultless, career-defining performance to become the first-ever simultaneous two-division champion in the history of the world famous fight league.
Moreover, the performance arrived on perhaps the biggest stage that the sport had ever seen up to that point and on a fight card that is generally regarded as being among the best, most-stacked produced by the UFC.
One the first bell rang, it was clear that McGregor was a beat ahead of then-champ Alvarez. The Dubliner’s pin point precision flummoxed the Philadelphia native throughout, as he was dropped to the canvas on several occasions before a second round flurry from McGregor proved to be the final moment of the fight.
