It took Conor McGregor a mere 13 seconds to end Jose Aldo’s 10 year undefeated reign.
Conor McGregor leaves the octagon after his first-round knockout victory over Jose Aldo in their featherweight title fight during UFC 194 on Saturday night in Las Vegas.
Aldo, bleeding from a cut on the bridge of his nose, said afterwards that he wants a rematch.
McGregor and his theatrics have promised to move up to lightweight after this fight. “I feel (sorry) for Aldo, he was a great champion”. “There is no doubt now”. But you’ll see me there with a gold belt and a custom made suit. “Jose was a phenomenal champion”. “He deserved to go a little bit longer, but it was going to happen eventually”. McGregor now has a money line of -105 to win.
That’s the shortest knockout in UFC championship history.

McGregor is already looking at the next fight.
The UFC fans all over the world were shocked to the core as the much hyped Conor McGregor vs. Jose Aldo match ended in a first round KO.
“I said to Lorenzo, and I said to Dana, I’m bringing in these big numbers”. “I don’t care what he says”. McGregor’s emphatic TKO set up a title fight between the two biggest superstars of the sport.
“Again, nobody can take that left-hand shot”, said McGregor (19-2). Moments later, the referee stepped in to put a stop to the contest and crown a new UFC featherweight champion.
“Nobody can take that left hand shot”. I think Aldo should reassess himself while I look to maybe go for the 155-pound belt or maybe I look at Frankie, so there are options.
Rockhold was surprised the fight wasn’t stopped during the onslaught in the third.
Both fighters weighed in after Holm’s Q&A, with the UFC president keeping the bitter rivals separate.
