The Tweet read:

“BREAKING NEWS: Kamaru Usman vs Conor McGregor will headline UFC’s July 4th card for the welterweight title, going live on [Sportscenter] in 5 minutes.”

Of course, the account is clearly fake. However, it seems that Till has a lot of interest in seeing “The Nigerian Nightmare” take up The Notorious.

There are wide speculations going around regarding the Irishman’s next opponent. Many possibilities from both the Lightweight and Welterweight divisions seem available. And given how active with his Tweets around the UFC these days, we could hear news of a matchup anytime now.

However, is the possibility of Conor matching up with Usman actually real?

Manager for Kamaru Usman calls out Conor McGregor for a title bout

Ali Abdelaziz is a huge name in the world of MMA. He manages a stable of outstanding athletes and champions like Khabiib Nurmagomedov, Kamaru Usman, and Henry Cejudo.

The manager has a separate beef with McGregor. With both of them taking jabs on each other in interviews and social media. Thus, when Conor recently became the source of controversy due to his recent G.O.A.T. list, Ali was the first to take a jab at McGregor.

As rumors circling around the number one contender at Welterweight, Jorge Masvidal, wanting to fight Nate Diaz, Ali thought of calling Conor out as a replacement.
