5. The Absolute Lads. The fight might have only lasted thirteen secs but that doesn't mean the Irish fans couldn't party for hours. Hup ye boyo!

7. Conor McGregor's message for all his fans and to Jose Aldo:

 

Thank you for all the kind messages! I am extremely grateful and proud to be in the position I am in. To the naked eye it was 13 seconds, but to my team and my family it has been a lifetime of work to get to that 13 seconds. Congratulations to the staff at the UFC on a historic week in the sports history and an amazing 2015 for the company. It is an honor to be playing a part in this great companies continued growth and success and an honor to top off a phenomenal week in the sports history. Thank you to all the fans who travelled and made this week what it was!! The traveling Irish are untouchable when it comes to creating the atmosphere needed to make a week like this what it was!! I am forever blown away by the support of my country. We have changed the game forever!!! Respect to a great champion in Jose Aldo. The true greats will always overcome adversity. I wish him and his loyal team well on their journey back. Much respect. Thank you all!!!

8. Jose Aldo heartbroken. Here is the behind-the-scenes footage of his locker room just after the fight. It must have felt like the loneliest place in the world:

9. Respect for Aldo. But, it shows what a decent guy he is that soon after his humbling defeat he still had time to smile and pose with fans. Legend.

10. Vegas Pyjama Party:

11. Payday:

It is believed that McGregor made at least $500,000 from the fight. Aldo got a similar sum thought to be around $400,000. Lots of different figures are been banded around but Mcgregor is expected to earn millions from his 13 seconds. Anywhere from $2-5 million. The biggest fight in UFC Featherweight history means that he will make most of his money from Pay Per View.

12. Katy Taylor's Tweet. High praise from the greatest female boxer in history.

13. I'm The Future. Of course a 19-year-old Conor McGregor predicted all of this years ago:
