During the promotions for the Mayweather vs McGregor fight, \u2018The Notorious\u2019 famously dubbed Espinoza a \u2018weasel\u2019. White has also not held back from criticizing Espinoza and went as far as to brand him a \u2018creepy little dude\u2019.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:-<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/yebscore.com\/news\/i-cannot-feel-my-left-hand-and-left-side-of-my-body-jan-blachowicz-details-scary-health-situation\/\">\u2018I Cannot Feel My Left Hand and Left Side of My Body\u2019- Jan Blachowicz Details \u2018Scary\u2019 Health Situation<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Kamaru Usman playing his cards the right way?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018The Nigerian Nightmare\u2019 has been gunning for a fight against Alvarez for a while now. However, the call outs have been pretty one-sided with Usman failing to get much of a response from Alvarez other than a single word \u2018payday\u2019.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-385315 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/04\/image02-3.jpg\" alt=\"Kamaru Usman\" width=\"1400\" height=\"933\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/04\/image02-3.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/04\/image02-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/04\/image02-3-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/04\/image02-3-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, with the recent back and forth, it appears as though Alvarez has taken notice of Usman and all the talking he has been doing on social media. Whether or not that materializes into a fight remains to be seen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dana White has made it very clear that he is not interested in Usman fighting Alvarez.
