Kamaru Usman has sent CONOR McGREGOR a death threat after he said he wanted to fight the Nigerian for UFC welterweight.
McGregor, 33 years old, hasn't fought since breaking his leg in defeat to Dustin Pourier last July.
McGregor stated that he would like to be back at welterweight and face Usman
Recently, he stated that he wants to fight champion Usman at 170lbs.
Now Usman has retorted with a vicious, sharp response to those comments.
He tweeted: "You guys want to see a murder scene at the octagon."
Usman is widely considered to be one of the best UFC fighters, pound for pound.

He has already won his belt against Jorge Masvidal twice and Colby Covington once, as well as a victory over Gilbert Burns.
A McGregor fight seems unlikely, especially considering Usman will be taking on Briton Leon Edwards next.
However, that hasn't stopped the Irishman from fighting at 170lbs three times - in victories over Nate Diaz, Donald Cerrone, and in defeat to Diaz.
According to him, the Mac Life YouTube channel stated: "I believe that versus Usman is the best candidate for my comeback for the 170lb weight title."

"I feel big, I feel strong, I feel healthy, I've got good energy. After a terrible injury, I am coming back. I don't want to be depleted, and there shouldn't be.
"And I feel confident in my ability to defeat Usman. He is a jab happy, sloppy and orthodox wrestler who has no submissions. What is he going to do with his life? Is there any danger? He is not a danger to me.
"His ground and pound isn’t strong, plus his age makes him more vulnerable. The world will be taken again. The triple crown.
"Nobody has ever achieved three knockouts in three weight classes moving up as I have, but nobody's ever won three UFC world title crosses three divisions like me if this fight takes place."
