Paddy Pimblett has seen his Twitter account suspended just hours before his fight with Jordan Leavitt at UFC London.
The Liverpudlian will take to the octagon on Saturday night to try and continue his meteoric rise in MMA.
Pimblett's Twitter account has been locked by the social media company
He beat Rodrigo Vargas in March and called out Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg after seeing his social media accounts locked - and 'The Baddy' might have a message for Twitter this time around.
The outspoken 27-year-old regularly engages in lengthy conversations with trolls and previously gave out the address of his gym when challenged to a scrap.
It remains unclear why Pimblett's Twitter account has been suspended and the fighter is yet to comment.
When asked about his behaviour on social media earlier this week, he said: "I can't help it, it's just one of those things. People say 'oh you shouldn't give them your time' but I'll use Twitter to pass time.
"You think I just sit there in my room thinking about Jordan Leavitt? I don't need to, I'm going to punch his head in anyway
"It's crazy the amount of abuse I get on Twitter, it used to be Instagram but that's boiled down a bit. I love putting trolls in their places.
Pimblett sent a message to his haters after making weight on Friday
"Once a day there's always a horrible fella calling scousers victims and saying it's 'never their fault'. They know what they're talking about, it's a Hillsborough jibe.
"Like Mike Tyson said, people think with social media that you don't get punched anymore.
"What you say on the internet you can get punched in the face for, simple as."
