Conor McGregor and the UFC MSG connection

The Conor McGregor vs Eddie Alvarez anniversary looms (November 12th, 2016) and it's fitting to mention considering the current landscape.

As we head into the UFC's latest massive pay-per-view offering at Madison Square Garden with UFC 295, it's fitting to look back at the UFC MSG card that kick-started it all.

Heading into UFC 205, 'Notorious' was the reigning UFC featherweight champion but was vying for gold north of his weight category. Eddie Alvarez was the king at 155 pounds at that juncture and McGregor put him away in one of the most impressive UFC performances of all time at that level of the sport.

Also, on that memorable inaugural card at the world's most famous arena, Tyron Woodley and Stephen Thompson fought to a majority draw in a UFC welterweight championship affair.

Plus, Joanna Jędrzejczyk defended her strawweight crown against Karolina Kowalkiewicz to name but a few of the highlights that transpired on a card with Yoel Romero, Chris Weidman, Frankie Edgar, Khabib Nurmagomedov, and more.
