Kamaru Usman’s Twitter hacked, sends vile threats to Conor McGregor’s girlfriend, McGregor responds

Conor McGregor returned to top form last night, dismantling Donald Cerrone in the first round of the UFC 246 main event to re-establish himself as one of the most dangerous strikers in the sport.

It was all celebrations for McGregor and his team up until ‘The Notorious’ received an urgent phone call from UFC president Dana White. White called McGregor to inform him that Kamaru Usman’s Twitter account had been hacked and implored the Irishman not to react to ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’s’ hacked tweets.

The hackers posted a series of vile messages (later deleted) from Usman’s Twitter account targeting McGregor and his long-time girlfriend, Dee Devlin.
