Filed under: Cage Warriors , News , UFC , Videos Conor McGregor made UFC history this past November, but really it was old hat to the Irishman. Then the featherweight champion, McGregor took out lightweight champ Eddie Alvarez in the UFC 205 main event to become the first fighter in promotional history to hold two belts at the same time. It was a familiary feeling for McGregor. Less than four years prior, he became the first fighter in Cage Warriors history to hold two titles simultaneously. While featherweight champ, he knocked out Ivan Buchinger at Cage Warriors 51 in front of his home fans in Dublin to win the vacant lightweight title. That wound up being all McGregor needed to get the call from the UFC, where he proceeded to make quick work of making history
