Back at UFC 205 in 2016, Conor McGregor produced one of the most impressive wins of his career, knocking out Eddie Alvarez to become the first concurrent two-division champ in UFC history.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Instagram on Thursday, McGregor reflected on that fight, which went down inside New York City’s hallowed Madison Square Garden. He added that the McGregor of the year 2020 would slap the 2016 version of McGregor around \u2014 a testament to the growth he’s achieved since this history-making win.<\/p>\n

Throwback to walking into the belly of Madison Square Garden, New York City in anticipation of my dual weight title fight. 2016. To think I\u2019d slap him around now is amazing. Frightening almost. I do need a hair cut though.<\/a><\/p>\n
