In McGregor's home country of Ireland, the challenger got a little overzealous and snatched Jose Aldo's championship title out from in front of him. The crowd erupted as McGregor hoisted the championship over his head.

The two will square off in July at UFC 189. You can see video of the encounter above.

- A big UFC Light Heavyweight fight has been added to the company's return to Germany on June 20. #2-ranked Alexander Gustafsson will be takings on #6-ranked Glover Teixeira in the main event of UFC Fight Night 69.

Both men look to get back on track following losses, as well as try to climb back in the title hunt. Gustafsson had his championship re-match hopes dashed earlier this year when he was knocked out by Anthony "Rumble" Johnson.
