Conor McGregor Wants to Fight Kamaru Usman for Title in UFC Return in Late Summer

Conor McGregor wants his next fight to be against Kamaru Usman for the UFC welterweight title.

In an interview on his MacLife YouTube channel (h/t ESPN's Brett Okamoto), McGregor discussed his desire to face Usman:

"Myself versus Usman for the 170-pound title in my comeback fight is the one I'm eyeballing at the minute. Why cut the weight? I've already won the 155-pound title. I got myself to a lightweight frame, but you know, I'm big now. I feel big. I feel strong. I feel healthy. I've got good energy. I'm coming back from a gruesome injury.
