Las Vegas, Nevada (PRWEB) July 12, 2015- Irish superstar and UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor proved himself Saturday night as a genuine finisher with an incredible second-round technical knock-out victory over elite wrestler Chad Mendes at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Regarded as the ‘fight of the year’ with McGregor being led to the cage by a live performance from Sinead O’Connor, and an atmosphere adorned with Irish flags and filled with overwhelming love and support from the traveling Irish fans, McGregor delivered for the UFC Interim Featherweight title taking the biggest win of his career and surpassing the expectations for the ultimate show.

After losing the first round to Mendes who scored on three takedowns and was using elbows and sharp punches that ultimately cut McGregor’s eye, the ultra popular Irishman silenced the critics and sent it in true form with a flurry of punches after being pinned on his back finishing Mendes at the 4 minute 57 second mark of the second round.

McGregor has been a dominate force in MMA collecting 18 pro wins out of 20 fights total and skyrocketed to fame on the UFC since his debut in 2013.
