McGregor made history at UFC 205 in November 2016 at Madison Square Garden, putting on a striking showcase to knock out Eddie Alvarez in the second round with four-punch combinations to capture the UFC Lightweight Championship and become the promotion's first concurrent two-weight world champion. His timing, southpaw straight left hand, and counter-punching precision are reflected in a 96 Boxing and 90 Fight IQ.
Returning to the Octagon after his boxing match with Floyd Mayweather, McGregor challenged undefeated champion Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 in October 2018 in Las Vegas, dropping a fourth-round neck crank submission after defending multiple grappling exchanges in the early rounds. His knockout power, defensive sprawl, and counter-punching danger remain reflected in a 94 Boxing and 88 Fight IQ score.
In January 2020 at UFC 246 in Las Vegas, McGregor knocked out Donald Cerrone in 40 seconds with shoulder strikes and head kicks, before engaging Dustin Poirier in two 2021 bouts at UFC 257 and UFC 264 in Abu Dhabi and Las Vegas, suffering a calf-kick TKO and a broken tibia. His left-hand power and boxing combinations justify his 92 Boxing and 86 Fight IQ.
