10 Most Surreal Moments In UFC History
6. Conor McGregor Knocking Out Jose Aldo In 13 Seconds
Conor McGregor's rise up the UFC featherweight division was unprecedented, as the Irishman decimated every opponent that he faced amidst an ever-growing tidal wave of popularity.
All the way back to his debut against Marcus Brimage in 2013 and in every fight that followed, McGregor was counted out by many who asserted that this would be the obstacle that The Notorious would fail to overcome.
The final of these tasks en route to superstardom, and a criticism that McGregor had continually faced during his time in the UFC is that his dynamic striking would be completely nullified if he fought a high-level wrestler.
McGregor would again prove his doubters wrong when he defeated All American wrestler Chad Mendes in a short notice fight in the co-main event of UFC 189 to clinch the UFC Interim Featherweight title.
In doing so, the anticipation for a fight between McGregor and Aldo had reached an all-time high, with fans clamouring to see who was the true king at 145lbs.
Aldo had established himself as the premier talent at featherweight since the WEC days, dispatching everyone he had faced in dominant fashion and was recognised as one of the greatest pound-for-pound fighters on earth.
The showdown between the pair at UFC 194 would completely defy expectations. Aldo rushed towards his opponent with reckless abandon, allowing McGregor to time a perfect counter, dropping the Brazilian and bringing an end to the fight in just 13 seconds.
