Khabib Nurmagomedov’s Manager Puts Conor McGregor On Blast

During the build-up to UFC 229’s Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Conor McGregor title fight earlier this month, ‘The Notorious’ took aim at his rival’s manager Ali Abdelaziz, labelling him a “dirty rat” among other insults, and not it seems it’s time for payback.

In response to a post from McGregor earlier this week giving his thoughts on the fight, Abdelaziz has now issued a fiery comeback in which he suggests that Nurmagomedov made him look like a child, while making it clear that they are not interested in having a rematch with him unless they get $100 million.

“First of all the champion @khabib_nurmagomedov is too busy enjoying his life and his family and does not give a shit what anyone says but this is my response to this weak soul, him and his sorry ass team already making some stupid ass excuses,” Abdelaziz wrote on Instagram.

“1) When a man gets held against his will and listens to you gasp for air, hopeless on your back how do you win a fight? If this was a street fight you’d be done. You got out grappled and out wrestled, looking like a little child. 2) Second round – the wrestler/grappler out struck you and hit you with a K Bomb and put you on your ass, taken down and hit with missile strikes from the guard and getting smashed in front of your whole family & crew. 3) Khabib stood the whole round with you to make a point that you’re a front runner. If you can knock someone else you give up like you did 5 times in your fighting career. THEN YOU MENTIONED THIS IS ONLY BUSINESS YOU PUT YOUR WHITE FLAG IN THE MIDDLE OF BATTLE 4th round – God put mercy in Khabibs heart and decided to show the world you’re a tap machine and put on a neck crank that wasn’t even a choke. The proper technique is 2 on 1 try to peel the arm and defend the neck crank. You put your two hands on the ground and your hand only came up when you were ready to tap. It’s embarrassing, if you would have beat Khabib. It would have been fair and square you win w no excuses.

“Now If you can’t make us 100m we know you can’t go fight somebody else because your ass is not getting a rematch. Go open a liquor store and focus on selling alcohol especially after all the shit you talked. Just stfu and move on. @ufc #100mill
