KAMARU USMAN mocked Conor McGregor’s impressive record in knockouts in three divisions. He reminded the UFC’s poster boy that he has suffered submission losses in all of the weight classes in which he’s fought.
McGregor, 33 years old, became the first UFC fighter to score knockouts at featherweight and lightweight in January 2020. He also defeated Donald Cerrone in 40 seconds.

McGregor shocked The MacLife last month by making a surprise beeline to Usman, saying: "I feel confident about Usman.
"A jab-happy and sloppy wrestler who has no submissions."

"I don’t see any danger with him. He's not strong and he's older.
"And then plus, the world is to again be taken. 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."
McGregor, a former two-division champion, is currently recovering from the terrible broken leg that he sustained in his fight with Dustin Pourier last July.
