Conor McGregor has hinted at a potential fight with UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman following his victory at UFC 245.

Usman stopped Colby Covington to defend his UFC welterweight title on Saturday and McGregor has wasted no time in responding to his brilliant win.

McGregor, who's set to return at 170lbs, appeared to suggest a fight with the 'Nigerian Nightmare' could be on the cards after posting "145. 155. 170" on Twitter.

Needless to say, his post on Twitter got fans talking online.

"3 weight world champ 2020," one social media user wrote.

A second Tweeted: "Don't see him beating usman lol."

A third added: "The king is coming to capture all the three titles at 145, 155 and 170."

Another wrote: "The Champ Champ Champ, all the belts."

McGregor will make his anticipated return to the Octagon on January 18 when he faces Donald Cerrone in a welterweight bout at UFC 246.

And the returning Irishman is in line to rematch UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov if he gets past 'Cowboy'.

"He's absolutely not being overlooked, and Justin Gaethje knows what's going on," UFC president Dana White explained.

"We've talked behind the scenes. He knows what's up.

"And realistically, Conor wanted to come right back and rematch Khabib. But we said that's not going to work. Tony [Ferguson] deserves the shot.

"So Conor is going to have to fight another fight before that and he's going to get the shot."

McGregor's also keeping tabs on BMF champion Jorge Masvidal.
