Kamaru Usman sends warning to McGregor, says he would be a ‘Nightmare’ match-up for the Irishman

It didn’t take long for Kamaru Usman to respond to Conor McGregor after the Irishman teased of a welterweight title fight against ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ in a recent interview with The MAC Life.

“I like the look of Kamaru Usman, I like the look of Colby (Covington),” McGregor said earlier this week. “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, the reigning UFC welterweight champion, responded to McGregor via social media, warning ‘The Notorious’ that he would be entering a world of pain at 170-pounds.
