When Cerrone tried to slow it down and get to grips with him, bang, bang, bang, bang. Four times, The Notorious sparked him with a hard, sharp shoulder into the snout.
The jaw, the nose, the eyes all caught in the space of 10 seconds and McGregor had the back broken on what would be his comeback fight, his first win since he held aloft two belts in New York after picking apart Eddie Alvarez.
And, when all was said and done, even the Cerrones appreciated the display.

In Cowboy's own words, he got his ass whipped early.
Typical class from a pioneer of the game who handed all the credit to McGregor for bringing something to the table that he hadn't ever encountered, even in his 50 pro fights.
"Oh man, he got me with his shoulder straight away, distorted the s**t out of me and then head kicked me," Cerrone said. "I’ve never seen anything like it; he caught me way off guard. He busted my nose, it started bleeding, and then head kicked me. "I was like 'oh man, this happened that fast?' I got my arse whipped early."https://twitter.com/espn/status/1218779721380564992
