These Are the Three Fights Kamaru Usman Wants

as he mentioned he has mentioned your name, right? Yeah The only reason we're even talking about Connor Connor's even in the conversation because he came out and said Like he wanted my belt. Yeah, like I don't give it. I don't give two shits about Connor Well, the idea would have that 45 tapped to 55 tapped at 70 I don't really care but 70 if he could win a title at 70 me goddamn 55 and 70 that would be arguably would be one of the biggest fights because because he's trying to make history No one ever done that to go up three weight classes and get a belt in all three weight classes No one has ever done that. Well, the UFC is campaigning for Khabib and Khabib is like give me a hundred million bucks Yeah, I mean He's in this position to ask that the fucking champ. Yeah, and he doesn't want to fight him. He's like fuck that guy No, I've been there done that Yeah, and also is like why am I gonna give this guy more attention and hear him say more crazy shit about me and all That stuff that he did before Yeah, you know some people don't care for that. No Khabib is very honorable guy. He's not in the business of talking shit He doesn't have anything to do with that But he said one of the darkest things I ever heard of a guy say before he said I want to change his face Change his face changes and you did you see the conviction in his face when he looked at the camera said send me Send location send me send me send me location. I fucking love that statement to do this new you Brooklyn Yeah, guys send me send me location. Yeah, he's new way And that's that's how I feel too You know like a lot of these guys do all this talking now and do this and this whole mass with all character do all this Talking and and and you know, I used to I respect the mass with all a lot before You know, but you know after years of years of being in the game You finally start to get a little shine and this is how you're gonna do it This is what you you know now you're you're that gimmicky guy. Yeah, but now you're talking about him, you know, exactly No, I get that I get his management team even though, you know, my management is taking care of his management team before You know, that's another story But you know, they've done a good job of getting him to this point where he's got this hype around him now But that's what it is a little bit of a good job But knocking out Donald Cerrone knocking out Darren Till and putting Ben Asker into another dimension with a flying knee All that helped and then fucking up Nate Diaz and open up two vaginas on his face That is that is why you got popular right, you know that yeah But you know like were those the hardest fights at that time? Well, Darren Till was thought to be a very hard Darren Till was a good one. Yeah, that was darn to is a good one He was coming off of the tyrant woodley fight, but still Darren Till was thought to be a very good fight Yes, and Donald Cerrone, you know Donald is a real before five-pounder. Yes. Yes But I'm talking about those big fight. Yes So Donald Cerrone Darren Till and then the Ben Asker and one that was no matter how you slice That's goddamn crazy what he did to him. Yeah, absolutely. I mean to land that knee. Yeah, that's crazy Yeah, you know, but what happens if had that need not landed who knows exactly. I mean he might just I was a gambling up That was that that was the gamble. Yes. I think that was the gamble fight that paid off and Mm-hmm sent him away. He took all that hype from Ben Ashkren Yeah, you know, but I understand I get it rightfully so but you know now to kind of make all this noise and say you're this And now you're gonna do this like I've heard him gone as far as saying Oh, he's gonna break my face is gonna do all of this and do that But then I see you backstage and nothing was said Nothing we sat in the same role encounters fight the same role maybe ten people apart nothing was said You know, I'm that type of guy if you're if I say what I'm gonna do I'm gonna do something to you when I see you I'm that's it's on site I don't that's that's not me I don't like to talk to shit and this and that but if I feel a certain way about you when I see you I'm gonna confront you about it. So your number one pigs GSP number one is just number was GSP for legacy for history for everything Number two red panties night Connor, of course. Absolutely very close Is that yeah, yeah that can miles with us why does he call you owl? What is owl hunting? What does that say? Who know because they when people try to bring him up there like he's just kill I'm like Come on that's hilarious both on both sides. Yeah, I mean it is what it is We don't Let's just be honest unless they somehow because they're doing everything possible not to fight me right now They're begging for a counterfight. They're begging for that fight because like I get it Let's be honest his if my manager said it too if I was his manager. Yes, why would I fight you? You know, I've got all this hype right now. I would do everything possible on the fire You of course, I want to fight Connor you fight Connor and lose guess what? I still got the payday. Who cares giant one I paid it who cares? Yeah, but he fights me he goes back down to making 5050 or whatever He was making before I get all that hype is done You know, so yeah, why would I fight you? Yeah, I have the opportunity to potentially fight Connor if Connor picks him It's real interesting right now, right? It's like how does this all play out? We're just waiting for the UFC to pull up. But listen, everyone is is the problem is everyone has Been saying oh they they need to give him a title shot need to give him a title shot need to give him a title So well, guess what? You just might get what you wish for but now you realize oh, I don't I don't really want the title shot I want no, I want I want this money over here. I want this guy to pick me so I can get that money I don't really want the title shot because we both know what's gonna happen him and I both know his management team No, everybody knows what's truly gonna happen But that's the nature of the game because he's got his fans who really believe that he can beat anybody in the world That he can't be touched. They're just like oh, yeah, that's the guy that's gonna beat you. He's gonna knock you out He's gonna do whatever he wants to do to you No, it's not gonna happen not even remotely possible for it to happen being exciting fight to set up Oh, yeah, I mean, I don't care like I'll fight anybody the height behind it would be gigantic a vault anybody for actually for all three of those fights all three of those fights are you're in the driver's seat Which is beautiful or you really are because everybody wants that title Like nobody's the BMF titles like no one's trying to get that No, it's just it's just an old cares cool-looking belt that he gets to carry around with them, but everybody wants your belt Yeah so, you know at the end of the day that's you know, Dana said that's the fight that he wants and And we're in the business of doing business with Dana right now So if that's the fight that Danny wants to make then we're gonna go in and we're gonna talk What kind of timeline do you think you're looking at? Like if ideally for you? Well, let's see April's taken already March is taken What about the July? I'm Ready to fight as soon as pot after April. I'm ready to fight. That's gonna be in Vegas, too I'm ready to fly event. Yeah, I'm ready to fight You know, we'll see what Dana says if it makes sense for them Yeah, I want to see red pants you and him would be fucking crazy goddamn that would be huge Yeah, um, you know if it happens it happens, but I I'm not hoping you know holding my breath I'm excited about all three of those match ups. They're doing everything. They're doing everything in a good around it And you know, it is what it is for them. But I don't think it fight I don't think I'd be extra hyped for any of those fights. I think all three of them. I'm at a hundred Yeah, whether it's GSP. I'm at a hundred Mazvadam at a hundred red panties night Come on I'm a hundred percent pump for all three of the honestly I you know at some point we just look at I'm like that Actually kind of makes more sense than even you know, obviously the mass with all being in the welterweight It has been doing his sting, you know, but it's like This guy hasn't beat anybody in the top five hasn't even fought anyone in the top five Well, if Connor jumps right ahead of everybody and gets a title shot like people Listen people will frown upon it. But at the same time at the same time they get it You know, he's fought it. He just fought at welterweight Yeah, you know and they'll get it because look Connor just did the same thing for lightweight. Mm-hmm He went straight into a fight. I didn't even fight a tune-up fight. He just fought a tune-up fight Yeah at welterweight and lightweight. He didn't he just jumped right into the title and you saw what he did there Yeah So people are intrigued to see if Connor is really this miss mythical creature that can go in and win three titles Dude, you know like that I mean it makes sense if Connor wants that opportunity to get who am I to try to stand in the way of His opportunity to try to to be great. I don't mind red panties night. July set it up UFC Yeah
