Days away from a new UFC belt defense, Kamaru Usman opened up about what he thinks about the moment of Conor McGregor. Opponent of Leon edwards at the event on August 20, the 'Nigerian Nightmare' suggested that the 'Notorious' no longer has the old motivation to continue competing. In an interview with podcast 'I Am Athlete', the welterweight champion (up to 77kg.) explained his position.
“I don’t think McGregor is finished as a fighter, but he no longer exists as a champion. I think this way. When I face someone, I even study the opponent's soul. I looked at the soul, the heart and I see that it is over”, said Usman.

After the first speech, Kamaru went further. For the Nigerian, McGregor's career may have been summed up in financial success.
“I don’t know if his goal wasn’t just money. He was broken, he wanted a better life. I understand. But will he be champion again? He’s not poor anymore,” she closed.
The first double champion in the history of Ultimate, Conor is going through his worst phase as a professional in MMA. Coming from two consecutive defeats, the athlete is recovering from a serious injury to his left ankle, suffered more than a year ago, when he was defeated in the trilogy against Dustin poirier.
