With only three seconds left in the round, ‘The Notorious’ was crowned junior champion by TKO, and sets himself up for a gargantuan fight with the champ Jose Aldo. Twitter melted down in the wake of the win for McGregor, check out the best Tweets:
Took me awhile to think of this, but wasn't Conor's supposed "bet" offer to Dana $3 million for a 2nd-round KO? #UFC189

Chanting continues throughout the MGM. I had to run from my seat as soon as Conor won to avoid all the beer flying through the air. #UFC189
