Conor Shuts Down Usman The Jockstrap Sniffer
Conor McGregor would love to add a third UFC title to his collection. But he’s not all that excited about a potential showdown with reigning welterweight champion Kamaru Usman.
. . .
Two names from the welterweight division that were brought up on Wednesday during the pre-fight press conference were Usman and “BMF” champion Jorge Masvidal. He’s mentioned both as possible future fights, but McGregor acknowledged one of them would definitely be more favorable than the other.
“That’s an interesting one,” McGregor said. “What would I be interested in more? I’d take both. I would like that bad motherf*cker title, that belt, then I’d like the gold. For me, the gold has a bit more significance to it, especially since the way the ‘BMF’ fight finished. I thought we were robbed of a classic contest there. I thought it was only kicking into gear rounds 4 and 5. But they’re both exciting bouts.
“I’d say probably the more exciting of the bouts would probably be myself versus Jorge, from a stylistic standpoint. Usman kind of has the similar style of Khabib [Nurmagomedov], the sniff-the-jockstrap style.”
