Grandson Reveals Why Muhammad Ali Would Have Loved Conor McGregor’s Treatment of Jose Aldo: ‘Poppy Started the…’

When Conor McGregor knocked out Jose Aldo in 2015, it was the inauguration of a moment that UFC, and the sport of MMA as a whole, would cherish for a long time. Although a highly skilled striker in the UFC, McGregor knocked out Jose Aldo in only 13 seconds of their fight.

Maintaining a wide stance like a fencer, McGregor stepped out and in. In southpaw stance, it was a side-kick to Aldo’s lead leg that lured him in.

Stepping back, McGregor landed a beautiful left hand on Aldo’s chin and dropped the latter down. What UFC fans witnessed was a true display of skill, confidence, and fluidity. McGregor built the moment for weeks. Prior to the night of December 13, the Brazilian fighter suffered complete destruction steadily executed by the Irish.
