00:54White trunks for McGregor. Black trunks for Alvarez.
00:58Good inside leg kick by Alvarez. Alvarez looking to keep that left leg on the outside of the front leg
01:04of Conor McGregor.
01:07And Conor looking to step over to his right to do the same. And again at that inside leg kick.
01:12He's landing with the foot, though. Gotta be careful of that. You break your foot on that shin very easily.
01:16A combined 48 professional wins for Alvarez and McGregor.
01:22A front kick to the body by McGregor. Always an effective technique.
01:27Use it very well against Chad Mendez.
01:32He stabs it in there with a ball to fit.
01:39Eddie throwing a lot of feints.
01:41Looking to avoid that left hand.
01:47First time at 155 seconds.
01:49He's got a tag. He's got a tag. He's home.
01:52Can he finish it right here, right now?
01:54Alvarez popped back up.
01:57Big shot.
01:59But he hurt him bad, Mike.
02:02Delivered and connected
02:03by Conor.
02:07Alvarez got to clean the cobwebs.
02:09He's been cracked before and come back to recover.
02:12But has he been cracked by a guy who hits like Conor?
02:21And he looked to clinch there.
02:23There's that front kick, that stabbing front kick that Conor throws.
02:27The Irish are well represented here tonight.
02:31Well, he's got such confidence in that left hand, and he should.
02:36He's just such a deadly weapon.
02:40Game changer.
02:41It is.
02:42He hurt him again.
02:43He hurt him bad.
02:47No one has ever held two belts in the UFC simultaneously.
02:54And Conor goes high with the kick.
02:57Conor did it back at home in Ireland.
03:00And he delivers another big left.
03:02It just seems to be one of those punches
03:05that fighters just get shocked by.
03:12Like, they can't believe how hard he can hit you.
03:16Eddie trying to roll under, trying to protect his head.
03:25Conor on top, ground and pound.
03:27Tags him with another left.
03:31Hard shots.
03:32Hard shots by Conor.
03:37Alvarez knocked down by the big left hand
03:40three times already in this fight.
03:50Conor looking for a fourth.
03:53Only man to ever survive.
03:56He'd knocked down three times in one round.
03:59Frankie Edgar against Gray Maynard years ago.
04:03That, the distance that Conor's able to maintain.
04:06Very, very difficult to handle.
04:11He slides in and out so well with that left hand.
04:15Stoked knee to the body by Conor.
04:18He's throwing him around.
04:22The switch to the southpaw.
04:30Alvarez just slipped that one.
04:37Alvarez looking to land a right hand of his own.
04:39And there's that front kick again.
04:47One minute.
04:50Beautiful counter there by Conor.
05:01The left hand of McGregor.
05:02Watch the left hand of McGregor.
05:06Conor showing him that left hand.
05:11Such good movement in there.
05:16Good punch to the body there by Alvarez.
05:1930.

05:45Front kick to the body by Alvarez.
05:47Returned by McGregor.
05:50Huge round for the challenger.
05:53Huge round for a long, long time.
06:03Big round one for the notorious one.
06:10A big round one and a completely unsuccessful one for Eddie.
06:14He threw a couple of body shots at Landon.
06:17But really didn't establish any of his game.
06:21There's that front kick to the body again.
06:29But he's successfully survived.
06:33And let's see if he can change the momentum of this fight here quickly in round two.
06:39And Eddie Alvarez has been there before.
06:41Oh, tagged him again.
06:42Man, the accuracy of that left hand.
06:45Will Alvarez start to use his wrestling?
06:48He should have probably already tried.
06:50Right.
06:52There it is.
06:53Stopped.
07:11Stopped.
07:14Oh, wow.
07:15Look at this.
07:16Really.
07:18Really.
07:27Front leg side kick.
07:28Very effective.
07:35Conor definitely has a ton of different tools that he utilizes on his feet.
07:43Alvarez pushing forward.
07:45Alvarez caught him on the end of that right hand.
07:47But not enough to hurt him.
07:49Now they're saying officially.
07:50Alvarez swing hard.
07:50He got tagged.
07:51He got hurt.
07:52Two takedowns.
07:52Oh, pardon me.
07:53Knockdowns.
07:53That might be the third.
07:55Nonetheless, it's been all McGregor thus far.
07:57Alvarez looking for the takedown here.
08:00He's got his hand on the fence.
08:02Murgliata hasn't noticed it yet.
08:15He's fighting Irish.
08:26Alvarez looking to embrace the grind.
08:36Grew up on the mean streets of North Philadelphia.
08:41Good defense so far by Conor.
08:44Able to stuff all these takedown attempts by Eddie.
08:48Good knee to the body by Conor.
08:50They break.
08:54Left hand again.
09:01Total strikes thus far.
09:04McGregor well in control.
09:08Alvarez getting loose.
09:09Getting better here in this round though.
09:11Oh, man.
09:11Until that.
09:12Oh, he's done.
09:13He's done.
09:14It is all over.
09:15History has been made.
09:17Conor McGregor is the UFC lightweight champion.
09:22What a performance.
09:24Didn't just do it.
09:25Didn't just do it.
09:27Did it flawlessly.
09:29I mean, incredible, incredible performance.
09:34Wow.
09:41Unbelievable.
10:10He didn't come here to take part.
10:12He came here to take over.

10:32And a big one to the temple.
10:35Left hand behind it.
10:37Excuse me.
10:37Right hand behind it.
10:38And Alvarez goes down.

10:55I mean, Eddie Alvarez can take a tremendous punch.
10:58He can recover.
11:00But Conor's accuracy and power was just too much for him.
11:05His movement, his ability to slide in and out with that odd style that he has.
11:12What a performance.
