Conor McGregor made a remarkable impact in the featherweight division when he first joined the UFC. The Irishman was on a 13 fight win streak when he beat Chad Mendes to clinch the interim featherweight belt.

To unify his featherweight belt, he faced Jose Aldo in one of his most memorable battles. He destroyed the Brazilian in 13 seconds and showed the world why he was the best featherweight at that time.

After this win, he climbed to welterweight and beat the likes of Nate Diaz. He also competed in lightweight and, after defeating Eddie Alvarez, became the first two-division champion in the promotion’s history.
