Kamaru Usman: McGregor is silent because he knows he has ‘no chance in hell’ of beating me

Kamaru Usman is actually serious about defending his UFC welterweight title against Conor McGregor but, according to ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’, McGregor is afraid to put his money where is mouth is and accept the challenge.

McGregor has talked in the past about moving up to 170 to become the first three-division champion in UFC history, but the Irishman has gone quiet since ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ called him out on social media earlier this week.

Usman believes McGregor’s silence speaks volumes, claiming in a recent interview with ESPN’s Brett Okamoto that ‘The Notorious’ knows, deep down, that he has ‘no chance in hell’ of beating him.
