Belt it out

UFC 205: Conor McGregor furious at borrowing Tyron Woodley’s belt after knocking out Eddie Alvarez

Notorious forgot to take his featherweight belt with him so only had one to hold aloft after history-making win

CONOR McGREGOR became the first man to hold two UFC titles at the same time - but had to borrow someone else's belt to show it.

Notorious knocked out Eddie Alvarez in the second round to claim the lightweight crown along with the featherweight title he already held.

But UFC boss Dana White revealed after the fight that McGregor had actually forgotten to take the featherweight belt with him to the octagon.

That meant after victory that handlers had to quickly rush to get another belt after a furious McGregor asked where his belts were.

He raged: "Where the f*** is my second belt? $4.2 billion this company sold for...cheap f***ers. They're trying to take that belt off me already."

Luckily, welterweight champion Tyron Woodley - the victim of a shocking X-rated McGregor rant earlier this week - let the Irishman borrow his belt so he could hold two simultaneously.

And White said it was McGregor's fault he didn't have two belts.

He said: "Just for the record, I'm not supposed to bring his belt. He's supposed to bring his belt.

"He's yelling at me because I don't have his belt. I'm like, 'No, you're supposed to bring your belt and I give you your new belt'. We went back there and Tyron Woodley gave us his belt. He let us borrow his belt."

Woodley said: "I'm a professional. Most of the crowd are here to see Conor. I'm not going to upset that."
