“I Would Do Bad Things to Conor”: Kamaru Usman Responds to Potential Fight Against Conor McGregor
Follow Us
Conor McGregor stepped into the cage with Donald Cerrone in a welterweight fight. He completely outclassed Cerrone at a weight class where he has only two fight experience. Now two narratives can be drawn from the victorious return of Conor at UFC 246.
Many fans believe that just because Conor put up an impressive performance against Cerrone it does not mean he would do the same against the likes of Kamaru Usman and Tyron Woodley. And some fans believe otherwise and are optimistic about Conor’s future at the welterweight division.
At welterweight division, Conor has two very intriguing matchups. Conor can either fight for the BMF title against Jorge Masvidal or challenge the welterweight champion, Kamaru Usman. It’s very unlikely that Conor gets the title fight ahead of Masvidal, but that fight is certainly on the table for Conor. And he has shown interest in achieving the third title in UFC too. However, the welterweight champion, Kamaru Usman is not entertaining that matchup.

Kamaru Usman does not believe that Conor is ideal for the welterweight division. He also stated that if Khabib can dominate him at 155, then he would inflict even more damage at 170. Usman also made it clear that if he takes on Conor he is not going only for takedowns. Usman is very confident that he would hurt Conor badly both on the feet and the ground.
“You saw what Khabib did to him at 155. Now imagine doing that to me at 170. Now I am not just gonna take him down. I am gonna march forward, I am gonna hit this guy, I am gonna beat on him, I am gonna take him down. I would do some bad things to Conor. It’s not that I don’t like the guy. I mean Conor is Conor.” explained Usman.
