Conor McGregor has recently come out and said he wants to fight Kamaru Usman in his big return to the UFC. Many people have reacted to the news, including welterweight contender, Vicente Luque.
Vicente Luque is very close to fighting for the title himself against Kamaru Usman and was naturally asked about Conor McGregor attempting to take his UFC title shot. The Brazilian spoke about it in an interview with John Hyon Ko for The AllStar.
“He has great timing so he’s able to time guys really well. He could hit Kamaru with something clean, and maybe get a win, but other than that, I think that Kamaru goes in there and dominates him, and possibly and probably finishes him,” the UFC welterweight said.
“McGregor doesn’t do well in five rounders. His rhythm goes down, he just doesn’t look as good in the fourth and the fifth as he does in the rest of the fight. Kamaru, man, he looks even better in the fifth round than he does in the first. So, unless McGregor catches him with something crazy, and Kamaru can take a shot. I’ve seen him get hit clean and he doesn’t even wobble. So unless something crazy happens I see a win for Kamaru and a dominant win for sure.”
Vicente Luque doesn't have to worry about Conor McGregor as he is booked to face Belal Muhammad in a rematch at UFC Vegas 51. The winner of the fight could potentially get a title shot depending on Khamzat Chimaev's next fight.
