UFC welterweight champion Nigerian American Kamaru Usman challenged Irishman Conor McGregor and American Jorge Masvidal to a fight next July.
Usman (16-1) told the media that he has been training since February and has offered to defend his 170-pound UFC championship since April, then May, also June, and now July.
Usman's next title defense was expected to be against Masvidal (35-15), who has expressed interest in an untitled rematch against Nate Diaz in recent days. That's why Masvidal may not be available, which is why Usman said he will ask the UFC to allow him to fight with a former two-weight-class champion who has expressed an interest in returning to action Conor McGregor (22-4)

The reigning welterweight champion also said he will try to knock out McGregor, but is only waiting for the response to continue his preparation for having, in any case, a fight in July.
