UFC 246: Conor McGregor doubts Kamaru Usman was hacked after derogatory girlfriend tweets
- Several profanity-laden messages about McGregor’s partner, Dee Devlin, were posted to Usman’s Twitter account
- Irishman ‘sceptical’ of hacking – ‘it had all the hallmarks of that little weasel, Ali Abdelaziz’
Kamaru Usman claimed his Twitter account was hacked on Saturday night after several derogatory tweets were posted, directed at Conor McGregor.
But the Irishman wasn’t buying it, to say the least.
“I’d be sceptical of that,” he said at UFC 246 post-event press conference, after smashing Donald Cerrone in 40 seconds. “Because one came through early and it had all the hallmarks of that little f****** weasel, Ali [Abdelaziz, Usman’s manager].
“They give him control of the accounts. He had Frankie’s [Edgar] account. He had Henry’s [Cejudo] account. This has been going on for a while. He gets it then writes something through their thing. I’ve been in discussions with some of these athletes that come on board and whatever, help them out and that. And I know exactly what happened.”
The profanity-laden tweets, several of which were about McGregor’s partner Dee Devlin, were eventually deleted.
