Conor McGregor’s reputation grows with every remarkable performance. On Sunday morning in the main event of UFC 205, McGregor manhandled Eddie Alvarez and took his UFC lightweight title via second-round TKO.

The win made McGregor the first fighter in UFC history to hold two titles simultaneously (he came in as the featherweight champion). It goes without saying, he’s one of the three biggest winners of the night.

The word legend might be too weak to describe where McGregor sits among current fighters. His dominant performance on the grandest stage the sport has ever provided makes him easily the biggest winner of the evening.

To a degree, McGregor is subject to the UFC’s rules and matchmaking, but you’ve got to believe he can call more shots than anyone else on the roster–Ronda Rousey included.

Eddie Alvarez

There’s no shame in losing to McGregor, but Alvarez was made to look as if he had no business in the Octagon with him. McGregor taunted and toyed with him before taking him out.

Jose Aldo’s 13-second defeat to McGregor could be excused or dismissed as a fluke, but the way Alvarez’s was dominated clearly proved the Irishman was better.

Alvarez was fighting less than 200 miles away from his hometown and yet the New York crowd booed him in favor of a man from Ireland.

In this Alvarez’s first title defense, there couldn’t have been a more painful way to lose.

He’s living the dream right now.
