The UFC superstar Conor McGregor rose to fame in a very short time. Along his UFC journey, McGregor also attracted critics and haters with his antics and trash talks. However, even McGregor’s critics found it hard not to appreciate his remarkable achievements in his fighting career. McGregor turned a lot of heads towards him when he achieved something that was earlier believed to be impossible. ‘The Notorious’ became the first fighter in the UFC, who held two belts simultaneously in two different weight classes.
After earning two belts, The Irishman put the two on his two shoulders and waved to the thrilled audience. This was a huge moment in his fighting career. Recently, ‘The Notorious’ posted a photo from the moment on his Twitter handle to prove to the world that he is still not done.
