Kamaru Usman’s management confirmed that his Twitter account was hacked on Saturday night ahead of UFC 246, with the welterweight champion's Twitter page sending a string of offensive tweets to Conor McGregor.

The Irishman headlines UFC 246 tonight with his long-awaited comeback bout against the American veteran Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone.

The fight will take place at welterweight – with McGregor this week expressing interest in fighting Usman for the world title.

Usman is in Las Vegas for tonight’s fight and, on Saturday evening, his Twitter account appeared to have been hacked as a string of offensive messages were sent to the Irishman.

“Conor McGregor is an Irish p****,” one tweet read. “N*****, I will f*** your wife while slapping the f*** outta you punk.”

Another read: “Let’s be real, my man [Conor McGregor] is a f****** Irish punk who won’t be winning today.”

A third Tweet meanwhile displayed what appeared to be two bank accounts, along with the caption: “Tweeting his bank password when I hit 1k followers.”

“Guys, Kamaru Usman’s Twitter account has been hacked,” Ali Abdelaziz confirmed.

“UFC is working on getting it back.”
