In 2016, McGregor became the first fighter in UFC history to hold championships in two divisions simultaneously. He knocked out José Aldo in just 13 seconds at UFC 194 to capture the featherweight title before adding lightweight gold less than a year later with a second-round stoppage of Eddie Alvarez.

Standing across from him will be former BMF titleholder Holloway, whose legendary UFC career has included a featherweight championship reign and what many consider one of the greatest knockouts in UFC history, a last-second finish of Justin Gaethje at UFC 300.
