Conor McGregor keeps UFC record

Dubliner thinks on his feet to dominate Hawaiian Max Holloway and win by unanimous decision
The Irishman won by unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-26), despite a knee injury he sustained in the second round that forced him to rethink his strategy.
Until then, McGregor, who received a rapturous welcome from the Boston crowd having fought just once in the UFC before tonight, had been in total control of the fight.
“I’m at a loss for words,” McGregor said of the support he received from the crowd at TD Garden. “I wanted to stand up all the way, he caught my leg in an awkward position, my leg was wobbly when I got up. You live and you learn.”
McGregor dismissed suggestions afterwards that he was under pressure to live up to his billing.
“I just listen to my team, I listen to my trainer, listen to the people in my circle,” he told mmafighting.com “Everyone else, they don’t exist.”
