In Dec. 2015, Conor McGregor knocked out then-Featherweight champion, Jose Aldo, in 13 seconds at UFC 194 to claim the 145-pound crown. It was the fastest knockout in UFC championship fight history. And "Notorious" has not returned to the division since, splitting a pair of back-to-back Welterweight bouts with Nate Diaz and now negotiating a deal to headline UFC 205, which takes place inside Madison Square Garden in New York, N.Y., on Nov. 12, 2016, opposite Lightweight champion, Eddie Alvarez. There has never been a current dual weight class champion in UFC history. Randy Couture and B.J. Penn have held belts in two different divisions, but never at the same time. Dan Henderson did it, but it was under the Pride FC banner and he lost to both UFC champions at the time (Rampage Jackson and Anderson Silva) of his transition to the Octagon. In other words, McGregor once again has the opportunity to make UFC history, provided Alvarez -- who beat the belt off Rafael dos Anjos shortly after he had to withdraw from a showdown with "Notorious" earlier this year at UFC 196 -- doesn't fall off the historic pay-per-view (PPV) card. It won't be easy, though, as Alvarez -- a former two-time Bellator MMA champion -- is a knockout artist with a granite chin, one who several months ago called a showdown against McGregor a "gimme fight."
