Conor McGregor and sport's other fastest victories

If you missed the start of Conor McGregor's UFC title fight against Jose Aldo, then you probably missed it all.

13 seconds was all it took for the Irish fighter to distort his Brazilian opponent's jaw and send him crashing to the canvas.

It was the fastest ever victory in a UFC title fight and even more impressive when you consider Aldo hadn't lost in over a decade.

Conor has taken to social media to pay tribute to his fans and his opponent.

He wrote on Instagram: The true greats will always overcome adversity. I wish him and his loyal team well on their journey back. Much respect.

There may be respect between the two, but the fight will be remembered for how quickly it was over.

In fact sporting contests are rarely over so quickly, but there have been a few...

One night in Tallinn - Estonia v Scotland 1996

"One team in Tallinn, there's only one team in Tallinn," sang the 600 or so Scottish fans as their team kicked-off their World Cup qualifier in Estonia.

Three seconds later and the game was over.

The Tartan Army were right, they were the only team in Tallinn that day.

The Estonians had failed to show, in protest of Fifa's decision to bring the game forward three hours.

They said the revised 3:00pm kick-off time meant many of their part-time players wouldn't be able to make the match, nor would their supporters.

At first it looked like Craig Brown's men would be awarded the win, but in the end the match was replayed with the teams drawing 0-0.

Pommicide - England v Australia 2015

Test cricket's detractors usually point to the five-day-format as reason enough to abstain interest.

Its supporters love it for that very same reason. It's a battle of endurance, tactical nous and gives fans plenty of time to drink.

But the first day of the fourth Test of this summer's Ashes didn't follow the usual structure.

Before the first batch of soggy sandwiches were even removed from the coolbox the Aussies were all out. For 60 runs.

In just 111 balls England had bowled out the tourists and all but regained the Ashes urn.

It was the shortest first innings in Test history.

Eric the Eel - Sydney 2000 Olympic Games

Baron Pierre de Coubertin, father of the modern Olympics Games, once said: "The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part."

Those words must have been ringing in the ears of Eric Moussambani as he lined up for the first qualifying heat of the men's 100m freestyle at the Sydney Olympics in 2000.

Just 12 months prior to the games the 22-year-old from Equatorial Guinea couldn't even swim.

He was up against Niger's Karim Bare and Tajikistan's Farkhod Oripov, but as it turned out, not for long.

The two other swimmers were disqualified for false starting meaning Eric would win his heat and qualify for the next round if he completed two lengths of the pool without touching the bottom or sides.

He did. Just.

In an agonisingly slow time of one minute and 52 seconds (the world record at the time was 48.18 seconds) Eric dragged himself to the end and wrote his place in the history books.
