The party is still going strong in Las Vegas but Conor McGregor has taken a moment to thank those who helped him to the top of the UFC mountain.
The new featherweight champ posted a photo of himself entering the octagon at the MGM Grand last night ahead of his victory over Jose Aldo, along with a message that said:
“To the naked eye it was 13 seconds, but to my team and my family it has been a lifetime of work to get to that 13 seconds.”
He also paid tribute to Aldo, whom he had spent the past year baiting ahead of their fight, adding: “Respect to a great champion in Jose Aldo. The true greats will always overcome adversity. I wish him and his loyal team well on their journey back. Much respect.”
