Thirty-three year old Usman defeated Tyron Woodley to win the welterweight title in March 2019, before he knocked out Colby Covington in his only defence in December.
He currently has a professional record of 16 wins and one loss, but strictly in UFC, he’s undefeated.
McGregor has only fought three times at the 170lbs limit, where he has beaten Nate Diaz and Donald Cerrone, while he also suffered a defeat against Diaz in their first encounter.
