hasn’t had much of a reason to celebrate these days, but that won’t stop him from blowing up some balloons every time 12/12 rolls around.
On December 12, 2015, McGregor traded in his interim featherweight title for undisputed gold via a stunning 13-second knockout of Octagon legend Jose Aldo at UFC 194.
To this day, McGregor’s split-second destruction of ‘Junior’ is one of MMA’s most iconic moments and solidified ‘Mystic Mac’ as the biggest star in the sport’s history.
“Happy Conor McGregor day folks! The Twelfth of the Twelfth, 12/12, the day I unified UFC gold for my Ireland in record breaking fashion,” McGregor wrote on X.
