VIDEO: Arise King Conor McGregor, UFC champion

It might have only lasted 13 seconds but the reaction to Conor McGregor brutally knocking out José Aldo went around the world for hours.

Love him or loathe him, the Dubliner is the biggest thing in the UFC — no mean feat given the size of the sport. Last night, he defeated a man who had not been beaten in over a decade and was the undisputed pound-for-pound king of the sport. The Irish man did it in just 13 seconds, the fastest in any UFC title fight.

McGregor had predicted a first-round knock-out, which not many believed would happen. “It will be wrapped up inside one [round],” he had said. He was right.
