UFC 194: Aldo vs. McGregor

After defeating Chad Mendes for the interim title, the stage was set at UFC 194 for a unification showdown with long-standing featherweight king Jose Aldo.

With their first meeting cancelled just a few weeks out due to an injury to Aldo, another press tour meant the two rivals had been on promotional duties for the best part of a year.

But although plenty of hours had been spent marketing the fight, McGregor didn't waste much time once the cage door closed. After a couple of tentative shots, Aldo came rushing forward, over-extending on a right hand, which Conor countered, landing a flush left hook that sent the Brazilian tumbling to the mat. A couple of hammer-fists later and that was that.

The punch that earned McGregor the featherweight belt and ended Aldo's reign

The featherweight division had a new ruler - for now at least - and Aldo's reign was over. 13 seconds is all it took for McGregor to put an end to 'Scarface's' 11-year unbeaten run.

With fans expecting an all-out war following the bad blood in the build-up, the swift ending left some feeling short-changed. However, the ruthlessness of McGregor's performance was something to behold, and the victory is currently the fastest knockout in UFC tile-fight history.
