UFC : CONOR MCGREGOR MAKES HISTORY ; UNIFIES TWO WORLD TITLES FOR THE FIRST TIME !

History is made at the UFC today as Conor McGregor unifies two World Titles for the first time.

McGregor becomes the first and only fighter in the history of the sport to hold two Title Belts in two different Weight Divisions - simultaneously.

This historic feat unfolds as McGregor KO's Eddie Alvarez in a glaring display of dominance and supremacy in Mixed Martial Arts, in the Second Round of their UFC Lightweight battle at the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Conor McGregor is less than humble - - as usual - - following his astonishing victory.

'I just want to say from the bottom of my heart, I'd like to take this chance to apologize to - - absolutely nobody!' declared McGregor in front of thousands of cheering fans, after the fight.

Brazenly, McGregor announced he had insulted and ridiculed 'everybody on the roster', but is unapologetic.

Conor McGrecor doused defending Champion Eddie Alvarez with some MMA lessons as he dominated the fight with sheer arrogance and confidence from the word go.

Alvarez, looked amateur as he repeatedly committed elementary mistakes of attacking McGregor with a lousy lead 'lunge punch' leaving his face wide open to an easy counter-punch.

Conor McGregor is notorious for many things on and off the Octagon.

But on the Octagon, his left counter-punch is obviously more notorious.

He had put down Jose Aldo at UFC 194 in a spectacular fashion - in just 13 seconds - with that very same vicious punch.

Alvarez, apparently short of memory, and forgot to do any of his homework.

He fell into the trap early in the First Round, attacking forward with a lousy lead lunge punch, and was counter-punched easily by McGregor, bringing him down to the canvass.

He was lucky to escape, the first time.

But worse, he repeated this basic mistake over and over again, as the fight progressed.

Forward attack, with a lousy lead lunge punch.

It was just a matter of time, McGregor got him once again - obviously with his favorite left counter-punch - then quickly took him out with follow-up strikes, coupled with finishing blows on the ground.

Conor McGregor's victory was both swift and technical.

But, in part, due to Alvarez's amateur attack technique.

But give it to the 'Notorious', the Irish Showman - the new King of UFC.

He displayed great Martial Arts skills, supremacy, and confidence.

Confidence that soars way, way beyond the fence of Octagon.

$4 Billion Dollar baby?

I see Dana White shaking his head - - and smiling.

F1 : LEWIS HAMILTON ' SINGING IN THE RAIN ' IN BRAZIL ; TAKES F1 TITLE FIGHT TO A DECIDER !

F1 : LEWIS HAMILTON WINS BRAZILIAN GRAND PRIX ; TAKES WORLD TITLE FIGHT TO A DECIDER !

Formula 1 Superstar Lewis Hamilton must have been singing in the rain as he takes the rain-drenched Brazilian Grand Prix - for the first time in his career - forcing a season-ending title showdown in Abu Dhabi for the 2016 World Championship Title.

Hamilton emerged triumphant with his faultless start-to-finish performance at Interlagos amidst torrential rains and chaos.

'When it rains, it's usually a good day for me,' says Hamilton of his textbook victory.

With Lewis Hamilton's first win in Brazil - a long-time childhood dream for the Brit - he now ranks No.2 in most Grand Prix wins of all time.

With now a total of 52 career wins, he's still got some chasing up to do with the great Michael Schumacher's 91.

Hamilton, also now cuts down the lead of his nemesis-cum-team-mate Nico Rosberg to just 12 Points in the 2016 World Championship standings.

However, Nico Rosberg still looks poised to take the Championship crown as he is assured of the World Title even with just an easy third place in Abu Dhabi, regardless of a Hamilton win at Yas Marina, two weeks from now.

Looks like, the battle for the 2016 F1 World Championship lies not on the hands of Hamilton, but on Rosberg's.

And, barring some kind of a mechanical disaster, Rosberg now seems to be the man.
