Conor McGregor has been instrumental in many of the UFC’s biggest moments in his time with the promotion.
But perhaps nothing was bigger than when he became the first fighter in UFC history to hold two titles at the same time.
McGregor was featherweight champion after a 12-second knockout of longtime champion José Aldo in December 2015. In November 2016, he returned at UFC 205 at Madison Square Garden, arguably the most famous fight venue in the world, and won the lightweight title as well. .
McGregor dominated Eddie Alvarez and ended up eliminating him with a second-round TKO to become a two-time champion in front of a packed house, many of whom were there to support the Irish superstar.
Monday, McGregor (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) and Michael Chandler (23-8 MMA, 2-3 UFC) will be in Dublin for a press conference with UFC CEO Dana White at the 3Arena, before the main event of UFC 303. June 29 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
