Conor on Conan [TBS]

Conor McGregor dominated Eddie Alvarez en route to a second-round TKO victory at Saturday’s UFC 205.

In doing so, he became the first UFC fighter to simultaneously hold belts in two divisions.

McGregor entered the Madison Square Garden event as the featherweight champion, and he now holds the lightweight championship as well.

McGregor completely outclassed Alvarez on the feet, showing vastly superior timing, accuracy and power. He staggered and dropped Alvarez multiple times prior to securing the TKO victory at 3:04 of the second round.
