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.”

Lady Gaga's "Applause" Video is Here.Lady Gaga, the iconic music super star, is back in action,
The best swerves begin with subtle hints.
One of the best examples of this is the 1995 film, "The Usual Suspects," starring Kevin Spacey, which has one of the best film swerves of all time. Before we find out that Verbal Kint and Keyser Soze are the same man (played by Spacey), we see subtle hints throughout the film -- for one, the names. It is revealed that Keyser Soze is from Turkey, and "Soze" in Turkish means someone who talks a lot. His alter ego's name is "Verbal."
When Triple H made his way to the ring to referee the match between John Cena and Daniel Bryan at SummerSlam, he did so to the tune of his much rarer entrance theme "King of Kings."

The natural progression when you're trying to stretch out your 15 minutes of fame is to make a porn, right? Kris Humphries' Kim Kardashian-lookalike ex Myla Sinanaj decided that was the best course of action.
Reports surfaced last month that Sinanaj actually watches Kardashian's sex tape that the reality star made with Ray J a decade ago, then Sinanaj says she can do better than that and gets down to business. Because that's not weird and creepy at all.

BOSTON — Chael Sonnen (29-13-1) did exactly what everyone expected him to do: He outwrestled Mauricio “Shogun” Rua (21-8). Then he did what was almost unthinkable. He submitted the former UFC light heavyweight champion in the first round.
With both fighters back on their feet, Sonnen shocked Rua by latching in a guillotine choke and falling to his back to finish the hold. With time ticking down, Sonnen squeezed the neck. Rua held out for as long as possible but was forced to tap with 13 seconds left in the first round. It was Rua’s first submission loss since 2007.
The 25-year-old Dubliner, fighting in the featherweight division, beat his Hawaiian opponent 30-27, 30-27, 30-26, despite suffering a knee injury in the second round.
“I feel like a champion, honestly, put me in with anyone, anyone in the world, I’m dangerous for them all"
After the fight, the Crumlin man told mmafighting.com: “I’m at a loss for words. 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.
“I really wanted to finish, I can’t stress that enough, I want to put people away.”
“I feel like a champion, honestly, put me in with anyone, anyone in the world, I’m dangerous for them all. I’m just looking for my time to prove it. And it will come.”
