Late last night, Conor McGregor took a look back at his most recent fight with Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229. This, of course, generated mixed reactions.
One of those reactions came from Nurmagomedov’s manager who has been right in the thick of the whole rivalry, Ali Abdelaziz. And he didn’t hold back.

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.
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.
Nurmagomedov and McGregor are still awaiting their punishments from the Nevada State Athletic Commission for their post-fight actions that immediately followed their fight.
There has been some brief talk from McGregor and company about a potential rematch. However, that seems to be where the majority of the talk is coming from as Nurmagomedov and Abdelaziz both aren’t very interested.
UFC president Dana White has continued to mention Tony Ferguson’s name as well when being asked who is likely next for Nurmagomedov.
There are still plenty of moving pieces however so we will just need to wait and see how things play out over the coming months.
