Some of the big names like Islam Makhachev, Khabib Nurmagomedov, and Umar Nurmagomedov have featured in the UFC. These athletes share an exceptional record in the UFC with many of them going undefeated. Khabib Nurmagomedov was a former lightweight champion who retired with an undefeated record.

Ali Abdelaziz is the manager of Justin Gaethje and many other elite UFC fighters. He is famous for managing stars like Khabib Nurmagomedov and Kamaru Usman. At UFC 291, Justin Gaethje won the BMF belt against Dustin Poirier and in his post-match press conference Conor Mcgregor called out Gaethje for a fight. Straightaway, Abdelaziz spoke about this situation calling it a publicity stunt from a Mcgregor.

Ali said that Mcgregor is looking for publicity and will not be willingly ready to fight Gaethje. He believes that Conor’s comeback fight will be against an opponent who is coming off losses. He chalked off McGregor’s antics and echoed Gaethje’s words of McGregor allegedly turning him down on multiple occasions.

Additionally, Ali and Mcgregor share a bitter relationship from the Khabib-Mcgregor altercation. Both fighters have gone back and forth on Twitter, sharing their opinions about each other. Many a time, Ali has taken a dig at Mcgregor for his trash talk and his recent inactivity in the competition.
