Conor McGregor's last victory in the UFC was against Donald 'Cowboy' Cerrone at UFC 246 in 2020. The welterweight bout was stopped at the 40-seccond mark of the first round after McGregor obliterated Cerrone with brutal ground and pound.
The Irishman was in control of the entire fight from the get-go. He threw a left hand with vicious intent at the opening bell that missed Cerrone by inches. 'Cowboy' tried clinching to evade the shots, but to no avail as McGregor landed some heavy shoulder strikes that broke the veteran fighter's nose.
After breaking from the clinch, McGregor landed a well-placed headkick that wobbled Cerrone. The former double champion followed with an onslaught of strikes until referee Herb Dean waved the fight off.
