Conor McGregor adds to his legacy with victory at UFC 205

Conor McGregor

Conor McGregor tells the UFC 205 post-fight press conference he is a about to become a dad, and says he needs a bigger share of the money in the sport to support his new family.

He built on his reputation as UFC's biggest star as he beat Eddie Alvarez in the early hours of Sunday morning in New York, becoming the sport's first double-division world champion.

The 28-year-old Irishman secured his place in history Saturday evening, stopping Eddie Alvarez in Madison Square Garden to become the first mixed martial artist to simultaneously hold two UFC belts.

Headlining the first UFC event in New York since 1995, McGregor smoothly cut down the UFC lightweight champion as he promised he would, connecting precise left hands that felled Alvarez six times in less than two rounds. It was a superlative performance against one of the sport’s most accomplished competitors over the last 14 years.
