UFC’s Conor McGregor Laughs at Kamaru Usman’s Return While Khabib Nurmagomedov Shares Positive Words

Just recently, UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman underwent hand surgery. However, he is back to training. The UFC posted pictures of his training which attracted some interesting comments. This includes comments from bitter rivals Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Khabib and Usman have a great friendship, and hence, the Russian athlete had a positive reaction. He commented, “Real deal.” After all, Usman has lost just one fight in his early MMA career. Further, after becoming the champion, Usman has dominantly defended his title.

Conor McGregor, however, had a different reaction. He commented, “😂”.

Fans know that in a recent interview, ‘The Notorious’ revealed that he wanted to fight for the welterweight title. This was mainly because he has already been the lightweight champion and hence, wanted something else. With Usman having a strong grip over the title, it looks like McGregor really wants the title fight against Usman.

The lightweight and welterweight divisions seem to be bubbling with new and upcoming fighters as well as with some of the best fighters around the world. In the face of such competition, it would surely be interesting to see how McGregor performs upon his comeback.

Fans would surely be curious to see how he uses his left kicks after a nasty injury during his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier. Earlier, he had openly expressed his wish to fight for the lightweight title. Later on, he also spoke about the welterweight title fight. Upon his return, it would be interesting to see whom he eventually fights.

Conor McGregor targeting the WWE?

While there is still time for the fighter to return, he has been taking digs at Wrestlemania. In a recent tweet, he claimed that the WWE wrestlers were afraid of him.

This invited a lot of criticism from the wrestlers. But it was also not the first time ‘The Notorious’ targeted WWE wrestlers. Back in 2016, too he had caused chaos because of his tweet about the promotion. It had resulted in several wrestlers hitting back.

Thus, while the Irish superstar is not back in the octagon yet, he is keeping his fans entertained. What do you think?
