Conor McGregor has been warned Kamaru Usman would prove too dangerous for him should he be handed a welterweight title shot.
The former two-weight world champion explained last week that he is looking to make even more history by moving back up to welterweight and becoming champion; the only person to ever win belts at three separate weights. However, to win that title, he would face arguably the toughest test of his career in Usman, who is stylistically an awful match-up for the Irishman.
He disagrees with the concerns about the style, saying that he has nothing to fear against his rival, but fellow two-weight world champion Daniel Cormier believes he is underestimating the challenge. None of the top welterweights in the UFC have been able to beat the Nigerian since he became a contender, including Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington who have tried twice.
