POLARISING UFC contender Conor McGregor has done the unthinkable at the UFC 189 world tour press conference in Ireland.

The maniacal Irishman has constantly baited Brazil’s featherweight champion Jose Aldo as the pair prepare for one of the biggest fights of the year.

However, McGregor took things to the next level when he lunged past UFC supremo Dana White and snatched Aldo’s belt, waving the brass above his head much to delight of the raucous Dublin crowd.

White also confirmed that Aldo, who is unbeaten in the UFC, “went crazy” after the No. 1 contender slapped him on the back with the pair having to be separated.
