"I phoned Conor and said don't do anything, don't react. Usman and Ali were sitting right in front of where Conor came out. "The first thing I did was to tell Conor; he didn't believe he was hacked. They put his bank account and his pin out there, that's crazy s***."White said the UFC would look into the matter further but McGregor, when he took his seat for the post-fight briefing, was not convinced of any hacking claims.
"I'd be sceptical of that, because one came through early and it had all the hallmarks of that little f***ing weasel Ali. They [the fighters] give him control of their accounts. He had Frankie Edgar's account, he had Henry Cejudo's account. This has bee going on a while. He gets control and then writes something through their account. "And listen, I've been in discussions with some of these athletes to come on board [with my management company]; help them out and that; and I know exactly what happened. And the way the first one was written, I knew exactly where it came from. "And all of a sudden, a little bit heavier ones and then it became a hack job. So, whatever. I don't what the f***. I don't know what's going on. It's a bit of a mad night."McGregor says White did call about the tweets, and the hacking claims, but was only able to pass a message to a member of his team. In the end, McGregor walked by Usman and his manager on his way to The Octagon and there was no flashpoint. https://twitter.com/devitapshd_/status/1218780710183456768 As for a potential title bout with Usman, McGregor declared he was taking a fancy to the welterweight division after his second UFC win there.
