“This is not personal”- Ali Abdelaziz reacts to Charles Oliveira’s accusations that Islam Makhachev’s team is “arrogant”
Charles Oliveira- Ali Abdelaziz
Khabib Nurmagomedov is managed by Ali Abdelaziz, the founder of Dominance MMA Management. He is without a doubt the most well-known manager in the MMA scene, mostly due to the fact that he keeps himself out there. Rarely does another manger of a fighter, besides him, criticise his opponent on a nearly daily basis.
Not to mention, there is a rumour that Ali tweets from his fighter’s account. His previous fight with Conor McGregor shocked the MMA community. As it was common to watch a fighter argue with another fighter, it is less common to see a fighter argue with another fighter’s manager.
During the face-off, Conor Mcgreogr stated “Shut your mouth, Ali Abdelaziz,” You terrorist snitch! I know a lot about you as well, you mad man. I know a lot about you as well! You keep your mouth shut kid! How’s Noah? How’s Noah? Yeah, shut your mouth! Never speak about me, ever in your life! Watch yourself around me, ‘cuz you’ll be out of here quick.”
“Goin’ to face Islam Makhachev”- Charles Oliveira confirms his title fight against Ali Abdelaziz’s fighter, Islam Makhachev at UFC 280
Charles and Islam, two of the top grapplers in the UFC, will face off for the lightweight title at UFC 280 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, on October 22. Makhachev didn’t sign, but according to his manager Ali, he verbally concurred to the terms. In order to indicate that he had signed, the former champion Oliveira, who dropped out of the fight against Conor McGregor at UFC 274 on May 6 because he didn’t make weight, posted an emoji of a pen on Twitter on Saturday.
MMA Hoje recently conducted an interview with “do Bronx,” who spoke on the same. Oliveira emphasised that before establishing himself as a top-tier lightweight, he had to overcome major health problems like rheumatism and heart condition. He declared that Islam Makhachev and his group were haughty. Here is the said Video:
He stated ,“The arrogance from their manager, from former fighters… will kill them. No one will ever hit me harder than life already hit me. I’m a guy that escaped a heart-blowing condition.”
To which Ali responded on Twitter by stating, “I just heard you said we are arrogant we know you’re a great champion and the great human being we know you’re very tough this is not personal October 22 Is it going to be a great fight and we will see who is the champion Big respect for you and your team” Here is the said Tweet:

Islam is 10-1 in the UFC’s lightweight division and has won each of his past 10 matches. He TKO’d Bobby Green in a last-minute catchweight match this year. He submitted Dan Hooker, Thiago Moises, and Drew Dober the previous year.
