Everything Conor McGregor Has Done Since KOing Jose Aldo 2 Years Ago Today

It’s hard to believe it happened only two years ago. One night, Jose Aldo is an absolute monster who reigned supreme for a decade, carrying over the WEC featherweight title into the UFC and never losing it. The next night, Aldo’s title is gone and Conor McGregor is a new undisputed UFC champion. Somehow, he did it all in only “turteen” seconds. There has only been 24 months since McGregor beat Aldo, which doesn’t seem like a whole lot, but a lot has happened. While critics will be quick to point out he hasn’t defended a title, he sure has been busy doing a lot of other stuff.

No one could beat Jose Aldo for 10 years. Conor McGregor did it in 13 seconds.

If he did all of this since his knockout of Jose Aldo, imagine what he could do in another two years? Millions are waiting to see how it all turns out, or if the millionaire will ever fight happen.
