McGregor also said he would go for gold in the welterweight division but at that time nobody paid much heed; now with the Irishman competing against Donald Cerrone in a welterweight clash on his return to the Octagon, it is believed that the Irishman may indeed embark upon a hunt for the Welterweight title.
Rumors of McGregor facing Jorge Masvidal have been doing the rounds for a while now and though McGregor has absolutely no qualms in facing Masvidal, he made it clear that he will come for Kamaru Usman’s title. In an interview with the Mac Life, McGregor said that he thinks Usman will be a good match up for him.
Make no mistake, Conor does not fear anybody in the business but Usman is a different beast altogether. He has dominated the best welterweights on the UFC roster and made seemingly difficult match ups look easy en route to victory. ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ is undefeated in the UFC and is coming out of a TKO victory against Colby Covington at UFC 245.
McGregor knows that in a match up against the likes of Usman, he will be considered the overwhelming underdog but he looks forward to reminding people who the true king of the promotion really is. He further confirmed that he will be coming for both the lightweight and the welterweight titles in 2020.
