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.
