Irish fighter Conor McGregor has named his preferred opponent for the title fight in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). He stated this in an interview published on Friday, March 18, on The MacLife YouTube channel.
The athlete said that he wants to fight the American Kamaru Usman next.
“I will feel very confident in a fight with Usman, he has mediocre moves. I don’t see any danger in it, ”said McGregor.
According to him, he feels big, strong, healthy and full of energy. The athlete emphasized that he did not want to exhaust himself after the injury.
“I like welterweight. I performed well there with the right preparation. So it was in the rematch with Nate Diaz, and in the duel with Donald Cerrone. I think these were my best performances in the UFC, ”he explained.
On March 8, McGregor revealed that he had returned to training.
Earlier, on March 2, the head of the UFC, Dana White, said that McGregor would be allowed to train if the recovery of the athlete from the injury goes well.
On October 31, 2021, McGregor announced “the greatest comeback in sports history”. According to him, he seeks to return to the ring with a vengeance. The fighter noted that the injury he received could not stop him.
In September of that year, McGregor complained about the lack of support from his ringmates after his injury. According to the fighter, those around him, instead of morally supporting him against the backdrop of a fracture and surgery, are trying to piss him off.
The Irishman is recovering from a broken leg. McGregor was injured during a fight with American Dustin Poirier on July 11, 2021. The fight was stopped after the first round at the request of the doctors. The athlete was hospitalized, he underwent surgery.
