UFC Fight Pass 500 Moments video: Conor McGregor snatches Jose Aldo’s belt is No. 182

UFC 244 marked the promotion’s 500th live event, and the organization is marking the occasion with “an internally curated list of 500 Unforgettable Moments from UFC history.”

Scheduled to be released in seven installments, UFC Fight Pass 500 Moments shines a spotlight on some of the most memorable highlights – and lowlights – from the UFC’s 26-year run, both in and out of the cage.

UFC Fight Pass officials have committed to sharing video of a few of those key moments with MMA Junkie, as well. This time, we bring you a wild moment from the Jose Aldo vs. Conor McGregor world tour, when McGregor boldly leaned across the podium to snatch Aldo’s featherweight title belt.

UFC.com’s Walker Van Wey sets the table:

Conor McGregor’s celebrity was almost at an all-time high in preparation for his featherweight title fight with Jose Aldo. The building was shaking with applause for McGregor and the building nearly collapsed when Conor declared himself the king of Dublin, reached over and snatched Aldo’s lightweight belt and held it over his head.

You can watch the footage in the video above. And check out a few more memorable moments below:
