Usman also predicted that he would stop Conor in round 3. He also made it clear that just because he traded strikes with Colby Covington it does not mean that he will follow the same gameplan against his next opponents. Now we have a reply from Conor on this topic who fires back at Usman in a recent interview with Ariel Helwani.

When Ariel asked Conor about Usman saying he would end his career, Conor criticized the fighting style of Usman by saying:

“How? By holding my f—ing leg? Come on, man. This is not how to fight. I’ll show you how to fight. The people know what’s a scrap and what’s not a scrap. And that method of fighting is not. Although the last one [Usman vs. Colby Covington] was a good fight, they both stood, and they had their moments. But you know what way you’re trying to fight me.”
