BOSTON – Conor McGregor kept Dennis Siver on the end of his punches and kicks, stopping the Russian fighter as widely expected, and then leapt over the UFC’s octagon to confront his next opponent, featherweight champ Jose Aldo. McGregor (17-2 MMA, 5-0 UFC), a massive favorite heading into the fight, did not fulfill a promise to stop Siver (22-10 MMA, 11-7 UFC) inside one round, but he dominated nonetheless and cinched a fight with Brazilian kingpin Aldo, who smiled wide at the screaming Irishman. “I said two minutes – I meant two rounds,” said McGregor. “I felt comfortable throughout. I don’t think Dennis posed a threat.” The featherweight bout took place at today’s UFC Fight Night 59 event at Boston’s TD Garden.
