MMA’s biggest star Conor McGregor is sick and tired of the UFC crediting fighters with erroneous record-setting performances, or so he says.
According to McGregor, Adesanya, who captured the interim middleweight title last weekend in a brutal war with Kelvin Gastelum, falsely holds a UFC knockdown record that he earned at UFC 236. The UFC sent a tweet out stating that Adesanya’s four knockdowns of Gastelum are tied for third-most in a single fight.
“Israel Adesanya’s (@Stylebender) knockdowns tonight are tied for 3rd most by a fighter in a single @UFC fight, behind Forrest Petz and Jeremy Stephens each connecting with five in a fight. #UFC236” – UFC on Twitter

Facts are facts, but “The Notorious” had something to say about it while responding to a fan on Twitter.
First, McGregor questioned what the UFC had done. Then, he demanded the promotion send him a ‘plaque,’ even if it a digital one.
Wait, what?
The @ufc did what?
That’s twice now!
I want plaques before I’m back.
Digital plaques shall do.
Hurry up @ufc, I’ll be here.
And use a good image. https://t.co/Hq1j8GWcg8— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) April 17, 2019
What do you think? Did McGregor land five knockdowns on Eddie Alvarez? And if so should the UFC send him his digital plaque?
