                 McGregor beat Cerrone in 40 second

Conor McGregor came back to the polygonal shape fashionable at UFC 246 as he beat American fan favourite Donald 'Cowboy' Cerrone in only forty seconds in las vegas.

Irishman McGregor, 31, came out on top after one in all the foremost spectacular performances of his career.

Two of UFC's most well-liked fighters went toe to toe in the main event at the T-Mobile Arena.

But referee Herb Dean stepped in and waved off the competition within a minute after a series of blows from McGregor.

"I created history tonight. I set a brand new record. I am the first fighter in UFC history to secure knockout victories at featherweight, at light-weight and currently at welterweight - across 3 weight divisions, therefore I am terribly pleased with that," said McGregor.

He had not won within the UFC's octagon since capturing his second UFC world title in Nov 2016 and was submitted in four rounds by unvanquished UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 in Oct 2018.

McGregor had aforesaid earlier within the week that he would look to "acquire rounds" against the 36-year-old Yankee, however he showed no such patience as he came storming out of his corner and threw a huge manus that forthwith signalled his intent to assert a quick end.

The Dubliner then connected with a series of shoulders to the face from the clinch, before following his man across the cage and connecting with an enormous head kick that badly rocked Cerrone.

Several significant left hands followed as Cerrone fragmented to the canvas, wherever he received an additional barrage of strikes that sealed finish.

"One of the records Cerrone holds is the foremost head-kick knockouts. I'm therefore happy to be ready to get him down with a head kick myself," aforesaid McGregor.

"The UFC will strip fighters and provides to different fighters make-believe belts so as to duplicate my 'champ-champ' standing. however they cannot provide knockout victories across multiple weight divisions, therefore there you go back. print my name in history an additional time.

"I like this weight division. I feel specific. God willing, I came out of here unhurt. I am in form. I do not believe I am there nevertheless, though. I've still got work to try to to to urge back to wherever I used to be."

McGregor surged to MMA super-stardom once he signed for the UFC as a two-division Cage Warriors champion, then replicated the exploit by capturing the UFC titles at featherweight and light-weight, changing into the primary man to at the same time hold UFC titles in 2 weight categories.

But those titles were later on stripped by the UFC once he did not defend his belts and, once sharing wins with Nate Dias during a try of epic encounters in 2016, the Irishman pursued - and secured - a multi-million-dollar match against Floyd Mayweather Jr.

His come back to the UFC saw him unsuccessfully challenge for the UFC lightweight title against Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 in associate encounter filled with animus and discordant rhetoric.

But he vowed to come back, and he has taken off what he represented as his "2020 season" in spectacular fashion to line up an embarrassment of big-fight choices later within the year.

A shot at the welterweight title, control by Kamaru Usman, or about with the UFC's "BMF" champion Jorge Masvidal would permit McGregor to continue at his new weight category of 170lb, whereas he has created no secret of his want to face Nurmagomedov during a repetition for the light-weight belt.

There is also choices outside of MMA, too. A repetition with May weather may be a chance, whereas Manny Pacquiao is reportedly conjointly fascinated by a bout with McGregor, United Nations agency is certain to command an enormous audience and day.
