The past 48 hours of Conor McGregor’s life have surely been a whirlwind.
One word swum in the Dubliner’s head in the lead-up to his title fight with Jose Aldo – Unify.
On Saturday night, in Las Vegas, he unified the featherweight title with one astounding punch that KO’d the long-time undefeated Brazilian.
McGregor’s next ambition is to step up to lightweight for a Spring 2016 fight – possibly in New York – against the winner of champion Rafael dos Anjos’ encounter with Donald Cerrone.
Frankie Edgar has also been told he will get his chance against The Notorious.
2016 will be busy as ever but, for now, the 27-year-old is reflecting on his latest achievement.
In the past few hours, McGregor sent out two tweets that perfectly sum up where he is right now.
