They trade tame kicks. McGregor stings Alvarez with a punch. An Alvarez takedown bid is futile. McGregor puts his hands behind his back to taunt Alvarez and invite a blow. Alvarez doesn’t bite, so he does it again. A cross puts Alvarez into the cage and McGregor ties him up. A right-left-right from McGregor puts him on the canvas again, and this time there’s no getting up. A couple of blows to the prone Alvarez and the fight is stopped. McGregor destroyed the champion and now is the featherweight and lightweight champion!
They spar carefully, touching hands but little more.
