UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman has heard Conor McGregor’s comments regarding his aspirations of winning gold at 170 pounds.

The MacLife released an interview with “The Notorious” ahead of his return at UFC 246. During the conversation, McGregor noted he is eying the UFC’s welterweight title, and likes the sound of matchups with the likes of current champion Kamaru Usman and 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.”

Now, Usman has taken to Twitter to offer his response to McGregor’s comments, warning the Irishman about turning his dreams into a nightmare really fast.

“My man @TheNotoriousMMA please just go in there and take your L from cowboy. Don’t even dream of this WW strap because that dream can turn into an Nightmare fast.”

Before McGregor can think about any title fights, however, he’ll have to get through his next opponent, Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone. They’ll headline the UFC 246 pay-per-view (PPV) on January 18 from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada at welterweight.

What do you think about a potential matchup between Usman and McGregor?

Speaking to The Mac Life, McGregor said he also has his eyes on the UFC’s welterweight division at the moment, in addition to the 155-pound class. In particular, he likes the sound of potential matchups with the likes of current champion Kamaru Usman and top contender Colby Covington. (H/T The Score MMA)

“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.”

Of course, McGregor still has unfinished business with Nurmagomedov. He’ll face Donald Cerrone on January 18 in a welterweight bout. However, if he wins, UFC president Dana White has suggested McGregor will fight for the lightweight title next. White described the matchup as a lightweight bout in which neither man is cutting weight.

“Everyone wants it. The boss wants it, Dana wants it, we all want it,” McGregor said. “He can run, but he cannot hide. So I look forward to it.”
