He said it. He did it.

Conor McGregor is the undisputed UFC featherweight champion of the world after his 13-second knock-out of Jose Aldo in their UFC 194 title bout.

The Notorious was a perfect mix of humble, delighted and respectful.

He paid tribute to the defeated champion and expressed his disappointment that the title fight could not have lasted longer.

“That’s all it takes,” he said.

“These are four ounce gloves. Especially when you add my left hand. Nobody can take that left-hand shot.”

As a stunned Rogan wrapped up the interview, McGregor declared, “Ireland baby… we did it! Yeah!”
