RARE PHOTOS: Kamaru usman backed to accept genius conor mcgregor s ufc title demand | Vintage Vibes

UFC champion Kamaru Usman has been backed to accept Conor McGregor 's latest call for a title shot.

McGregor wants to move back up to welterweight and face Usman in his return to the octagon later this year. The Irishman has criticised Usman's style and sees no danger in the pound-for-pound No.1 despite his 20 fight unbeaten run.

Usman laughed off McGregor's call out and claimed he would "murder" the former two-weight champion if they fought. 'The Nigerian Nightmare' has verbally agreed to defend his belt against Leon Edwards in July, but the fight isn't official.
