“It’s tremendous! I love this record! If I fight for the 77 kg belt I will knock him out (Kamaru Usman) also. With that I would have the fastest knockout in UFC title fights (13 seconds), the most knockdowns in a UFC title fight (5) and one more knockout in a UFC title fight. Three title fights. Three knockouts. Three new records. It’s right there,” McGregor replied.
