The fight between Conor McGregor and Eddie Alvarez took place at UFC 205, just after McGregor’s second fight against Nate Diaz. It was UFC’s first event to be held in New York City and Dana White left no stone unturned when putting together the fight card.

The showdown between McGregor and Alvarez was the headliner of the night and as expected, the fight delivered big time. McGregor produced a highlight reel performance at the event and stopped Alvarez in the second round via punches. It was a huge surprise to many fans who tuned in as Alvarez was getting bullied by McGregor throughout the fight.

Nevertheless, the win marked McGregor’s rise as the UFC Lightweight champion and by winning the title, he also became a two-division champion as he was already holding the Featherweight title.

Just like most of McGregor’s other fights in the list, this one also broke many UFC records and turned out to be a huge boost to McGregor’s net worth.
