The fans in attendance giving it up for the two fighters, who have really let it all hang out in the last minute or so!
Mohammad drops his hands momentarily. McGregor doesn't need a second invitation, landing a shot to the temple. Mohammad staggers and falls to the mat and the ref dives in to save him from any more punishment. Mohammad doesn't seem happy with the stoppage but he was done.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:27 of round 2, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). Charlie McGregor!
