With all the debates and discussion going around regarding who the UFC’s greatest of all time is, Conor McGregor reminded everyone just what he’s done inside the Octagon.
After the retirement of Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 254 last month, everyone is talking about the undefeated Russian’s legacy and his place at the pinnacle of the sport.
Conor McGregor, who has undoubtedly become one of the UFC’s biggest, if not it’s biggest star in the last few years. “The Notorious” took to Twitter to remind people of what he has been able to do in the UFC.
“Fastest KO in a UFC title fight. Most knockdowns in a UFC title fight. Featherweight belt. Lightweight belt. Champ Champ,” McGregor said on Twitter.
Conor McGregor set the record for fastest KO in a UFC title fight by starching long-time titleholder Jose Aldo to become the new UFC featherweight champion back in 2015.
In 2016, McGregor knocked Eddie Alvarez down five times en route to a vicious TKO win to become the new UFC lightweight champion. (While the UFC lists Israel Adesanya as the official record-holder for most knockdowns in a title fight, McGregor has gone on to dispute that claim.)
McGregor also became the first man in the UFC to simultaneously hold two world titles in different divisions.
Dana White claiming that the Conor McGregor vs Dustin Poirier rematch for January is a done deal

With UFC President Dana White claiming that the Conor McGregor vs Dustin Poirier rematch for January is a done deal, many wonder what’s at stake.
Currently, the UFC’s lightweight titleholder Khabib Nurmagomedov is supposedly retired, but the UFC won’t be stripping him of the title. Will Khabib return in 2021? Or will a new champion be crowned in the future?
If the latter is the option, then the McGregor-Poirier rematch becomes more intriguing, given that it’s likely to have title implications with it. That could be elevated into a bout for the vacant UFC lightweight crown, or could become a title eliminator, with the winner facing any of the other top contenders like Justin Gaethje, Tony Ferguson, or even Michael Chandler.
Conor McGregor has publicly committed himself back to lightweight division for 2021.
