UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor became an overnight superstar, thanks to his brash talking and ability to knockout legends quickly inside the cage. Now, in a new video just released to the internet by his former promoter, we get to witness a new knockout from the champion you’ve never seen before.
Before he was a UFC mega-star, McGregor was a two-division Cage Warriors champion destined for greatness.
And though it looks as if the UFC may have lost their biggest star to the sport of boxing, thanks to a $100 million dollar payday against Floyd Mayweather, and a rumored next fight against Manny Pacquiao, we can still remember what once was.
McGregor has already broken numerous records in the UFC with two world titles to his name, and is without a doubt the biggest combat sports attraction in the world.
In his early days, McGregor used some pretty vicious hellbows to dispatch this young fighter.
