Conor McGregor‘s prediction that he’d finish Dennis Siver within two minutes didn’t come true. The Dublin native dominated his UFC Fight Night 59 main event bout with the veteran Dennis Siver before finishing him in the second round. He relentlessly pressured Siver, throwing kicks high, low, and to the body, then following through with uppercuts. Siver appeared to be saved by the horn at the end of round one. But there was no saving him in round two. A straight left was the telling blow, as Siver hit the mat. McGregor got into full mount and reigned down punches an elbows until referee Herb Dean waved off the bout at 1:54.

Once the fight ended, McGregor scaled the top of the cage and sprinted at Jose Aldo in the front row, who smiled throughout the proceedings. in a interview on FOX Sports 1 Jose Aldo said he was not impressed by McGregor’s performance.
