Conor McGregor offered title shot against UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman

Two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor has been offered to step up against welterweight champion Kamaru Usman in his next fight, which could possibly turn the Irish superstar into the first three-division champion of UFC. Although Conor McGregor is yet to accept the fight on paper, the ‘Notorious’ has been vocal about wanting to fight for the welterweight title in the past. Even after his sensational victory against Donald Cerrone at UFC 246, Conor McGregor claimed that he is willing to explore more in the welterweight division and looking at the current scenario, it appears that Conor McGregor has potentially found his next 170 lbs opponent inside welterweight champion Kamaru Usman.

UFC: Conor McGregor offered welterweight title fight against Kamaru Usman

It is no secret that Kamaru Usman’s manager Ali Abdelaziz and Conor McGregor shares a bitter relationship with each other since years, but that might fuel up one of the biggest welterweight clashes of all time in UFC history.  Ali, who simultaneously manages Khabib Nurmagomedov’s MMA profile, took himself to Twitter and offered a title shot to Conor McGregor. Since Jorge Masvidal has already vowed to re-match Nate Diaz via Twitter, Ali Abdelaziz tagged the “Conor McGregor vs Kamaru Usman” fight as the perfect replacement.

However, it was not a simple title offer. Ali Abdelaziz went on to mock Conor McGregor in the tweet and vowed that Kamaru Usman won’t be applying any takedowns in the first two rounds and it will only be “slaps”.

Initially, it was chalked up that BMF champion Jorge Masvidal will lock horns against welterweight champion Kamaru Usman next. However, following the turmoil caused by COVID-19, a lot of pre-planned fights had been called off. Though UFC is up and running back in action, it seems that Jorge Masvidal and Kamaru Usman are not going to fight each other anytime sooner. Jorge Masvidal has already called out Nate Diaz via Twitter, while Kamaru Usman’s manager has also offered a title shot to Conor McGregor.
