Former dual-weight champion McGregor has not yet responded, though Umar replied to Kelleher: “It’s not gonna help you Brian.”
Kelleher, 35, has a professional mixed martial arts record of 24-12, while Umar is undefeated at 13-0.
Since McGregor’s defeat by Khabib, the 33-year-old has fought three times, knocking out Donald ‘Cerrone’ at welterweight in 2020 before suffering two lightweight losses to Dustin Poirier in 2021.
Poirier, whom McGregor knocked out at featherweight in 2014, stopped the Irishman in the second round last January before “Notorious” sustained a broken leg in their trilogy bout in July.
