Kamaru Usman has hit out at Conor McGregor, branding the Irishman a "clout chaser" after he demanded a shot at his UFC welterweight title.
The Nigerian fighter has looked unbeatable since becoming champion back in 2019, but McGregor believes that he can be the man to end his dominant title reign, and win an unprecedented third world title in the process. The former featherweight and lightweight champion has said he no longer wants to weight cut to 155lb and has instead setting his sights on Usman.
And while Usman will first have to get through a third consecutive title rematch with Leon Edwards, he hasn't rubbished the prospect of one day fighting McGregor. However, he has insisted that he doesn't take the Irishman too literally, given that he has fought so infrequently since his 2016 lightweight title win.
