Earlier this week, Conor McGregor had fun insulting several UFC superstars. Among these, we could find Ilia Topuria, Leon Edwards, Alexander Volkanovski, Khabib Nurmagomedov or even… Kamaru Usman. For now, only the Nigerian has responded to the insults of the Irishman, who notably compared him to a Malteser. Annoyed, “The Nightmare” asked the “Notorious” to focus on being a “good father.”

Back after three years of absence, Conor McGregor take advantage of the hype that currently surrounds him – before facing Michael Chandler on June 29 – to make people talk about him. Monday evening, during a live on the Kick platform, the Irishman spoke about several famous names in the UFC, in a mocking tone. Among the former featherweight and lightweight champion's targets are Kamaru Usman. The Notorious notably attacked the Nigerian on his physique: “ Kamaru Usman? Fuck him, he's a loser. A little Malteser bald head. » he blurted.

“Put down that bottle of Whiskey”

Obviously, this insult did not go unanswered for long. Usman reacted via Pound 4 Pounddeclaring that he had suffered the refusal to fight from McGregor twice : ” You can't say I'm a loser, Conor. If you wanted an opportunity to fight me, I gave you that opportunity twice. I think sometimes it's best for you to put down that bottle of whiskey and be a good father and role model. “.

Moreover, Usman did not appreciate the criticism made by McGregor about Khabib Nurmagomedov, struggling with Russian justice. While he owes 3.3 million dollars to the Federal Tax Service of Russia, the Notorious mocked the Dagestani. Enough to disappoint the former welterweight champion: “ I didn't kick him while he was down. He's been in trouble with the law, he's been in trouble, but you never heard me sit there and kick the man while he was down. There has to be a certain level of respect here because, at the end of the day, that's what sport is. » declared the Nigerian.
