Kamaru Usman suggests a potential Ilia Topuria vs. Conor McGregor fight in Spain
Kamaru Usman recently suggested that the UFC capitalize on Ilia Topuria’s rising popularity by pitting him against Conor McGregor in Spain.
Following Topuria’s spectacular knockout win over Max Holloway, Usman shared on the Pound 4 Pound podcast that it’s the ideal time for the promotion to push 'El Matador' to new heights, envisioning a lightweight bout with McGregor in a packed Spanish stadium:
"[Topuria] is delivering. He comes off [brash and overconfident] but that's all the recipe of what you need of a disruptor, of a star. So to send him to the moon right now, why not give him Conor at [155 pounds]? Why not give him Conor? A stadium in Spain. He becomes the next Conor McGregor."
