Conor McGregor's most recent victory in the UFC was a dominant performance against Donald Cerrone at UFC 246 in January 2020. McGregor finished Cerrone in under a minute, making it look effortless.
As of mid-2026, Conor McGregor's last victory inside the UFC octagon remains his demolition of Donald Cerrone at UFC 246 in January 2020 — a finish so swift it left the Las Vegas crowd barely with time to react.
McGregor, now 37, carries a professional record of 22-6-0 and has long been one of the sport's most recognizable figures. The Irishman, representing SBG Ireland, competes as a southpaw and stands five-foot-nine with a 74-inch reach. His offensive output is notable, averaging 5.32 significant strikes landed per minute at a 49 percent accuracy rate — numbers that reflect both his volume and his precision.
Cerrone, nicknamed "Cowboy," entered that January night as one of the most experienced fighters on the roster. Now 43 and holding a career record of 36-17-0, the American from BMF Ranch had built a reputation as a durable, well-rounded veteran. He averages 4.41 significant strikes per minute with 46 percent accuracy, and brings a consistent submission threat, averaging 1.2 submission attempts per 15 minutes.
On that night, however, none of Cerrone's experience could offset McGregor's sharpness. McGregor finished the fight in under a minute, making the performance look entirely effortless against a seasoned opponent who had rarely been stopped so quickly.
Why it matters
- McGregor's 22-6-0 record includes that January 2020 finish as his most recent winning entry in the UFC record books
- The speed of the finish underlined McGregor's ability to end fights immediately against experienced opposition
- Cerrone's durability record made the sub-one-minute stoppage all the more striking as a career data point for both men
