Ali Abdelaziz is the agent for UFC Lightweight Champion Khabib NUrmagomedov, who may be facing former two division UFC champion Conor McGregor.
While Abdelaziz do🦄esn’t serve as an agent for McGregor, one thing he believes is that the Irishman is starting t run low on funds.
“The last time I talked to Dana, he seemed this is the fight he wants to do,” Abdelaziz said to . “This is the biggest fight in UFC history, the biggest money maker. Conor is running out of money; this is why he agreed to fight Khabib. It’s OK — we are going to contribute to him making some money, but at the end of the day, we owe him an ass whooping. We need to get this ass whooping for Khabib and get it out of the way.”
McGregor hasn’t been very active in the UFC as of late, with his last bout coming against Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205.
Abdelaziz doesn’t think that Nurmagomedov wants to fight McGreg♐or, but will do it if the UFC wants him to.
“If this is what Dana wants, we will do it,” he said. “[Nurmagomedov] doesn’t like the guy. We don’t like the guy. We don’t like his team. We don’t like what they represent. We don’t like what Conor represents. I like some of the stuff he does, to be honest, but he thinks he’s a gangster — I don’t think he is. Gangsters, they end in jail or get beat up.”
Nurmagomedov recently completed the obser🍎vance of Ramadan, which means the lightweight champion could return to action anytime.
