Kamaru Usman took to Twitter and joined hands with his manager Ali Abdelaziz to troll Conor McGregor and Jorge Masvidal.

Chiefly, ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ chimed in on a post by Abdelaziz that went after the aforementioned fighters for wearing Versace. McGregor and Masvidal have become well known for their dressing sense, however, neither Usman nor Abdelaziz were impressed.

What’s more, there’s an ironic trend that sees the fighters who have worn said Versace robe have then gone on to lose. This famously happened to ‘Gamebred’ Masvidal at UFC 251 to none other than Kamaru Usman on Fight Island. Additionally, McGregor is 1-3 since donning the iconic robe.

Kamaru Usman: All business

While Usman has an affable personality outside the cage that lends itself to trolling, he’s a completely different person under the lights.

He’s been on record saying that ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ appears as a different entity when the cage door finally hits him in the back. Not to mention, his performances thus far have been a testament to this, time and time again.

Ever since his beat down of Tyron Woodley to capture the welterweight strap, Usman seems to be leveling up. He’s able to adapt to various skillsets put forth by his opponents and can go toe-to-toe with anyone. Moreover, he’s not afraid to step into the fight and engage in an all-out war.

‘The Nigerian Nightmare’: What’s next for the undisputed champion?

He’s coming off one of the most impressive victories of his pro career after stopping Gilbert Burns via TKO at UFC 258. Usman weathered some early adversity from his former training partner and went on to bounce back and win.

He’s practically cleared out the top welterweight contenders and is already sourcing rematches.

One such rematch that may be on the horizon is potentially against his foe Jorge Masvidal later in the year. There’s no love lost between the two athletes, and they’re projected to coach the latest TUF season against each other.
