The Astonished Twitter Reaction To Conor McGregor's Remarkable KO Victory

Even the most biased Conor McGregor sycophant could not have dreamt up how events played out at the MGM Grand.

Sure, some would have forseen a first round KO - apparently McGregor is allowing anyone with a betting slip saying so into his after party for free - but a 13 second stoppage was unrealistically fanciful.

McGregor's second punch of the fight, a left hook, delivered with - as the man himself put it, 'precision and timing' - was the decisive blow. It sent the Brazilian to the canvas. Two hammer fists later and John McCarthy intervened.

It was a moment which sent shockwaves through social media.
