Victory!
Conor McGregor is the interim featherweight champion of the world, beating Chad Mendes with a second round knockout at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas.
We now have a unification bout on our hands, ladies and gents, with Jose Aldo waiting to finally face his toughest opponent yet.
Wow.
Incredible scenes at the MGM Grand. Conor McGregor has never looked so emotionally drained http://t.co/2wedsqw8qP

I think Chad Mendes will be welcome in Ireland anytime. Very gracious in defeat.
