Conor McGregor interested in welterweight gold, but not Kamaru Usman’s ‘sniff-the-jockstrap’ style

Conor McGregor would love to add a third UFC title to his collection. But he’s not all that excited about a potential showdown with reigning welterweight champion Kamaru Usman.

As he prepares to fight at 170 pounds for the third time inside the Octagon, the former two-division champ hinted he may stick around the weight class longer than his upcoming bout against Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone at UFC 246.

Two names from the welterweight division that were brought up on Wednesday during the pre-fight press conference were Usman and “BMF” champion Jorge Masvidal.
