Abe Kawa has claimed UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usamn is injured. The MMA manager has proposed his client Jorge ‘Gamebred’ Masvidal fight Conor McGregor for 170lb interim title in the meantime.

The call comes after ‘Notorious’ made a triumphant return to the cage at UFC 246. All he needed was 40 seconds to knock out MMA veteran Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone. The Irishman looked back to his best, claiming his first win since beating Eddie Alvarez in 2016.

Current welterweight king Usman was in attendance, on the same night his Twitter was hacked and targeted vile tweets towards the UFC’s main attraction. Masvidal as also in attendance, rocking a Versace “house coat” as McGregor called it. And either man could well be next for ‘Notorious’ who said as much in his post-fight speech.

However, if Kawas is to believed his client is the only worthy and available fight for McGregor right now. Speaking on social media he claimed Usman was injured and proposed another option for the 31-year-old Dubliner.

“Looks like usman is out indefinitely with another injury. Conor is ready to go. Jorge is ready to go. Interim title for 170?”

The 170lb king defended his crown against Colby Covington
late last year. In the process it appears he has suffered an injury, although
this wasn’t public knowledge prior to the social media post from Masvidal’s
manager. If he is indeed out with a long term issue, ‘Gamebred’ becomes the
only other viable for McGregor at welterweight, should he wish to stay in the
division.

However, the likelihood of the UFC stripping Karamu or
bringing an interim belt into play is slim to none. ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’
has literally just fought and after putting on a fight of the year contender he’s
earned himself some credit from the company.

Should Conor McGregor stay at welterweight for fights with Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal?

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.
