Kamaru Usman has made a shocking revelation about a fight against Conor McGregor. Usman and McGregor haven’t had the best relationship over the years.
Moreover, at one point it was suggested that the two would fight each other inside the octagon. However, the fight never happened. But with McGregor returning to the UFC with a welterweight fight against Michael Chandler, there are chances of it happening in the future.
Speaking about the same, Kamaru Usman revealed that he offered Conor McGregor two fights. He said:
“You can’t say [I’m a bum], Conor. I didn’t kick him while he was down. He’s had run-ins with the law, he’s had back-to-back incidents… but you never heard me sit there and kick the man while he was down…If you wanted an opportunity to fight me, I gave Conor two opportunities to fight me.”

Many people are unhappy with the headliners and believe that it would not make for a good pay-per-view sale of the event, including the Irishman. During a recent live stream, he suggested that both Edwards and Muhammad are boring fighters.
Further, Conor McGregor jokingly suggested that the UFC 304 won’t even cross 200 PPV buys. He said:
“There’s too many decisions going on now with that Leon [Edwards] fella. Leon Edwards loves a decision.”
He added:
“And then he’s fighting another f***ing decision guy, your man Belal [Muhammad]. So, not great times in the welterweight title picture. 200 [PPV] buys, not even.”

That said, it will be interesting to see how the event plays out in terms of sales in July.
