Conor McGregor is apparently interested in a fight with Kamaru Usman in the near future.
McGregor, who is scheduled to fight Dustin Poirier in a trilogy bout at UFC 264 on July 10, reacted to Usman’s knockout of Jorge Masvidal in Saturday’s UFC 261 headliner with a social media post on Sunday morning.
Usman (19-1 MMA, 14-0 UFC) and McGregor (22-5 MMA, 10-3 UFC) have had some words for each other in the past. “The Nigerian Nightmare” has warned the Irishman on multiple occasions that a fight between them would be very ugly for McGregor, but that hasn’t got him to back down.
McGregor poked fun at Usman prior to UFC 261 when Usman said in an interview that fighting him is like “Green Panty Night,” which is obviously a twist on McGregor’s famous “Red Panty Night” quote.
He still seems to think the 170-pound king is a copycat, and he wants to settle the score in the octagon (via Instagram):
