Kamaru Usman has finally responded to Conor McGregor's claims he is a 'copycat' - by telling the Irishman he 'gets finished' too often.

Usman successfully retained his welterweight title against Jorge Masvidal at UFC 261 last weekend and it caught the attention of McGregor.

'The Notorious' claimed Usman 'copied his shots' and shared a clip of his fight with Dustin Poirier at UFC 257 as proof.

It has seen 'The Nigerian Nightmare' hit back with his most savage response yet, who says McGregor can't even knock out lightweights anymore.

"Except when I touch you at 170, they go out," Usman begun. "They don't even go out at 155 anymore for you. I finish people. You get finished."

McGregor then hit back with: "Relax there, carbuncles. You big spotty back pox. You were ringside last time I fought at 170 [vs Donald Cerrone]. 40 seconds is all it took.

"Why did you reschedule [Gilbert] Burns fight? What was the reason, that was never given to the public, why that already signed fight was then rescheduled?"

He continued in a separate tweet: "Never in all my time in this business, which is long before all of these fu**ing bums, have I ever seen a signed fight get rescheduled with no reason given whatsoever.

"So said fighter can recover from 'undisclosed injuries'. Excuse me what? The fight is signed/sealed/tix sold."


The incident McGregor is referring to happened last year, when Usman's defence against Gilbert Burns was pushed back from UFC 256 due to injury.

He has since defended against Burns at UFC 258 earlier this year.

McGregor finished his rant with: "F**k these juice heads anyway, I don't give a bo**ox. I'm just calling it as it is.

"I've the biggest balls in Ireland with two lump hammers attached to me elbows. Send me in and I'll pop that big pimple."

Usman hit back at McGregor one final with a message of: "I offered you the fight and you went missing. Let's stay humble young man. I already took your pride. Don't make me take your whiskey too ."
