However, he doesn’t want to compete in the lightweight division and has hinted at a fight against the welterweight champion Kamaru Usman. Although McGregor is one of the best fighters in UFC, he has only won one fight since 2018.

Hence, his demand of fighting the welterweight champion didn’t sit well with many, including UFC commentator Rogan. In one episode of his podcast, Rogan said, “You know, he’s talking about fighting Kamaru Usman. Like, phew, be careful what you ask for.”
