MMA Legend: A Look at Conor McGregor Through the Years (3 of 8)

Deciding he had nothing more to prove as a featherweight, he moved up to the lightweight division and easily defeated lightweight champion Eddie on November 12, 2016 in a knockout victory, becoming the first UFC fighter in history to possess both the Featherweight and Lightweight Championships at the same time. 

Although McGregor would be stripped of his belts due to inactivity, he wasn’t exactly sitting on the couch and binging on Netflix. Instead, he decided to give boxing a try. But his first and only bout wasn’t against some random journeyman, he faced the legendary Floyd Mayweather! Although he had zero experience in professional boxing, McGregor managed to battle into the 10th round, at which point he was defeated via TKO.
