AFP, NEW YORK: Mixed martial arts superstar Conor McGregor knocked out Eddie Alvarez at Madison Square Garden on Saturday to become the first to hold two Ultimate Fighting Championship titles at the same time.
Ireland’s hugely popular UFC featherweight champion seized Alvarez’s lightweight title, knocking the American down three times with punishing left hands in the first round and once again in the next before finishing him off with a brutal four-punch combination at 3min 4sec of the second round.
“Where’s my second belt?” McGregor shouted after one was wrapped around his waist, while cheers from a legion of ardent supporters rang around the arena.
