UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman says he’d hurt Conor McGregor “really really bad” if they were to fight.
Recently, McGregor suggested he has his sights set on the UFC’s 170-pound title as well. Of course, that would require matchups against current champion Usman and top contenders such as Colby Covington.
“I like the look of Kamaru Usman, I like the look of Colby (Covington),” McGregor said. “I’m open to it all at 170. … I want the gold. I’m after the gold – 155, 170, they’re the belts I am chasing now.”
Usman responded to these comments in a recent interview with MMA Fighting. “The Nigerian Nightmare” called a fight between himself and the Irishman a “mismatch,” and believes the affair would be extremely one-sided.
“It is a [mismatch],” Usman said. “More power to him, anything is possible. A fight is a fight, anything can happen. But just being real, that’s a tremendous mismatch. I think I would hurt him really, really bad.”
