Conor McGregor believes there is only one culprit for a series of tweets from UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman.

McGregor defeated Donald Cerrone at UFC 246 on Saturday night after getting the TKO finish in just 40 seconds. Usman was notably in attendance as there has been talk of the pair facing each other in recent weeks.

However, earlier in the day, there were a series of tweets from Usman’s Twitter account which was allegedly hacked. Among them were lewd messages about McGregor and his family. They can be seen below (viewer discretion is advised):

McGregor caught wind of one of the tweets and when asked about it during the UFC 246 post-fight press conference, he revealed his number one culprit — Usman’s manager Ali Abdelaziz:

“I’m skeptical of that [his account being hacked],” McGregor responded. “One came early and it had all the hallmarks of that little weasel Ali [Abdelaziz]. They [his clients] give him control of the accounts. He has Frankie’s [Edgar] account, he has Henry’s [Cejudo] account. … The way the first one was written, I knew exactly where it came from. Then all of a sudden, a little bit heavier ones and then it became ‘a hackjob.’

“No, I don’t think it was Usman. I don’t know. I don’t care. It just had all the hallmarks of the man that’s done it in the past multiple times. I saw one [tweet] originally … and the first one had all the hallmarks of a man logging in and doing his thing like he does with all his other clients that he represents. This is happening since years. I’ve been dealing with this a long time so I know exactly what the suss is. Whatever.”

Abdelaziz has notably been known to regularly tweet from the Twitter accounts of his many clients, such that it has become comical. However, based on the content of the tweets from Usman’s account, it does look like it was a genuine hacker rather than the notorious manager.

Ali Abdelaziz believes the UFC made the right decision by not having Conor McGregor face Justin Gaethje for his comeback.

Gaethje has been campaigning for months to face McGregor. However, the Irishman will be facing Donald Cerrone instead when he returns to action at UFC 246 on January 18. In a recent interview, McGregor revealed that Gaethje was on his list and that he would be opening to facing him after Cerrone. But Abdelaziz — Gaethje’s manager — doesn’t believe any of that.

He feels the result would only go one way if they fought and that is why the UFC made the right call by having McGregor fight Cerrone instead:

“Listen, Conor does not want to have to do anything with Gaethje,” he told TMZ. “We understand, Gaethje takes a lot of people into deep water. We understand Conor is a quitter. He quits when he’s in deep water. Why the hell does he need to fight …

“The UFC made the right choice not to [have him] fight Gaethje because he would have beat his a**. Simple.”

Although UFC president Dana White has claimed that McGregor would be next for a title shot if he beats Cerrone, Abdelaziz believes it should go to Gaethje.

“Logically, he is,” Abdelaziz said when asked if Gaethje was next for a title shot. “He’s ranked number three. Number two Dustin Poirier, fought for the title. That’s the only fight that makes sense for him, for his career — to fight the champion.”

Mixed martial arts (MMA) manager Ali Abdelaziz and UFC welterweight star Colby Covington have had their fair share of issues over the past few months.

However, Abdelaziz is willing to put their differences aside to give respect where it’s due. Over this past weekend, Covington took part in a tremendous back-and-forth war with welterweight champion Kamaru Usman in the UFC 245 main event on pay-per-view (PPV). However, after having his jaw broken midway through the fight, Usman was able to put “Chaos” away with about a minute left in the fifth round.

Now, days later, Abdelaziz has taken to Twitter to offer some praise to Covington, crediting his toughness and fighting ability before stating he holds no grudges towards him.

“I just want to say Colby Covington can fight Love him or hate him you cannot take this from him Much respect to him and the whole ATT team Things got a little bit ugly but we are 0 grudges , life is going on”

Covington has not responded to Abdelaziz’s comments as of this writing. However, according to American Top Team (ATT) owner Dan Lambert, Covington doesn’t plan on sitting around on the sidelines for longer than he needs to.
