Conor McGregor ended 2016 the same way he started it—asking someone to bring him his damn belt.
McGregor had just dispatched Eddie Alvarez with shocking ease in the main event of Saturday’s UFC 205. The four-punch combination he landed to finally knock out the already dazed and demoralized lightweight champion three minutes into the second round was as historic as it was chillingly effective.
Yet in the immediate aftermath, McGregor wasn’t happy.
He was annoyed.
The stoppage victory made him the first fighter to simultaneously hold UFC titles in two different weight classes.
