There was a time in the UFC when Conor McGregor was yet to taste defeat inside the octagon. The brash Irish superstar stitched together an impressive streak of victories in the featherweight division. This made him the next marquee name to face Jose Aldo, who was the featherweight champion of that era.

Before that fight could take place at the end of the year, UFC president Dana White and McGregor played a casual match in UFC 2. This is the first time either of the men set foot inside the virtual octagon, as Conor choose to pick himself as his fighter, White went with Aldo. What happened next in the match truly gave everyone a sneak peek into the future.
