Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight champion Conor “Notorious” McGregor is getting ready to put on the performance of his career. The fighter will be taking on Floyd Mayweather Jr. for what may become the payday of his career on Aug. 26 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
In anticipation for the UFC champion’s first fight inside the boxing ring, here is a look back to Conor McGregor’s first title fight inside a cage.
Back in 2012, Conor McGregor squared off with Ivan Buchinger for the Cage Warriors Fighting Championship lightweight title. McGregor made quick work of his opponent, earning a knockout within the first round.
