Conor McGregor, renowned as one of the most popular fighters in the UFC, is reportedly the organization's most followed and highest-paid athlete. He holds records for drawing some of the largest gates in UFC history. Currently, after almost a three-year hiatus, McGregor is preparing for his return to the UFC octagon.

During a recent livestream where he answered questions from fans, McGregor was asked about Kamaru Usman. It appears that Usman nicknamed the "Nigerian Nightmare," is not highly regarded by the former UFC lightweight champion. McGregor responded, "Kamaru Usman? F*** him; he's a bum."

Usman has since responded to McGregor's comments in a post, labeling them 'disgraceful'.

"The only time Conor really gets on Twitter is when someone is doing something spectacular. When Israel [Adesanya] had a big fight, Conor would tweet. When Alexander Volkanovski had a big fight, Conor would tweet. When Islam Makhachev had a fight, Conor would tweet."

Usman criticized McGregor's behavior, describing it as an attempt to "troll" and "steal some of those moments," which he finds disgraceful.

Usman stated, "You can't call me a bum, Conor. I never kicked him while he was down. He's had run-ins with the law and multiple incidents, but you never heard me attacking him when he was vulnerable. If he wanted a chance to fight me, I gave Conor two opportunities."

"My advice? Sometimes it's better to put that whiskey bottle down... and focus on being a good father and a role model."

Conor McGregor is set to return to the UFC octagon this summer at UFC 303 pay-per-view, where he will face Michael Chandler in the main event at the 170-pound weight class.
