Ali Abdelaziz offers message of support to Andrew Tate UFC be strong

Dominance MMA founder and prominent mixed martial arts manager and representative, Ali Abdelaziz has voiced his support to the outspoken social media influencer and commenters, Andrew Tate – amid the American-born outcast’s continued period behind bars as part of an investigation into alleged human trafficking and his part in organized crime.

Abdelaziz, a prominent mixed martial arts manager and agent, is most notably the manager of former undisputed UFC lightweight champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov since the Dagestan native’s move to the Dana White-led organization.

A former undisputed lightweight champion under the banner of the promotion, Nurmagomedov bowed out of the sport and active competition back in 2020, boasting an unbeaten 29-0 professional record following a successful lightweight title defense and unification win over Justin Gaethje – whom the above-mentioned, Ali Abdelaziz also represents. 

Ali Abdelaziz offers message of support to Andrew Tate

Voicing his support for Tate – a former professional kickboxing world champion turned social media influencer and podcast host, Ali Abdelaziz tweeted, “Be strong, my brother” in a bid to offer support to the 36-year-old as part of his continued period in a Romanian jail.

Tate, and his elder brother, Tristan Tate were initially detained in Romania back in December of last year, with DIICOT confirming they had identified six victims who were alleged to have been subject to “acts of physical violence and mental coercion” at the hands of Tate and other accomplices, as part of an organized crime group.

Over recent months and prior to his arrest, footage has emerged of Tate alongside numerous UFC champions and contenders, including undisputed welterweight champion, Leon Edwards, undisputed bantamweight titleholder, Aljamain Sterling, as well as the current #2 ranked bantamweight challenger, Sean O’Malley

Tate has also been linked with a return to combat sports prior to his December arrest, with a professional boxing match against Logan Paul – the elder sibling of Jake Paul floated most notably

Conor McGregor Javier Mendez coaches rant Twitter UFC

Former undisputed UFC lightweight and featherweight champion, Conor McGregor unleashed an expletive-filled tirade on his official Twitter account overnight – taking aim at five prominent mixed martial arts head coaches, and claiming himself and his head coach, John Kavanagh of Straight Blast Gym, had created a system to defeat the likes of past-foe, Khabib Nurmagomedov.

McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion, is expected to return to welterweight waters in his UFC comeback later this year.

Finishing filming on The Ultimate Fighter 31 earlier this month, McGregor featured as an opposing head coach on the reality television show against the #5 ranked challenger, Michael Chandler – with the duo expected to fight later this year under the UFC banner.

Conor McGregor provides update on training camp location

Providing an update on his return to camp, McGregor claimed he and his team would be setting up shop in Big Bear, California.

Sharing a slew of tweets last night from his official Twitter account, McGregor took aim at the likes of Trevor Wittman, Javier Mendez, and Firas Zahabi, as well as once more pointing to the above-mentioned, Nurmagomedov’s retirement during a back-and-forth with the Russian’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz.

“Firaz Zihabi (sic) is a little douchebag,” Conor McGregor tweeted. “Trevor Wittman is a pad man. Javier Mendez is a fat a*se lick kick boxer. Mike Brown is a smelly pr*ck. Greg Jackson got caught up, the system of coach [John] Kavanagh is now shining thru (sic). In years to come, the world will know what we have been at. It’s beginning to bare fruit. If you want to train, train at SBG Ireland with Kav, and me. We are a fight factory akin to butter churning.” 

“Hey, sh*t stain on the game,” Conor McGregor replied to Ali Abdelaziz. “I’m talking as of now it is beginning to bare fruit. We bat their system of fighting on TUF. It’s locked down. It’s no wonder sh*t pants {Khabib Nurmagomedov} scurried. There’s no competing now. The head of the style is too fat a b*tch and afraid to compete again. So we win. You can’t compete with us. Watching and witness, you rat b*stard.” 

Sidelined since July 2021, McGregor most recently headlined UFC 264 against Dustin Poirier, fracturing his left tibia and fibula in a first round doctor’s stoppage TKO defeat.

Tony Ferguson alleges that Khabib Nurmagomedov and his former manager Ali Abdelaziz owe him a large amount of money from a business wrongdoing.

Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov may have never gotten the chance to settle their rivalry inside the octagon, but the animosity between the two remains strong. In their primes, a fight between the two would have been an enthralling display of mixed martial arts competition, but sadly this matchup never came to fruition.

Tony Ferguson Says Khabib and Ali Owes Him More than Half a Million Dollars

Via Twitter, Ferguson wrote a colorfully worded post claiming Khabib and Ali’s wrongdoings on a business deal that went south. While these allegations are serious, the specific details of the situation have not been disclosed.

What Could Have Been Between Khabib and Tony

During their primes, Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov were on a tear, just dominating every opponent in front of them. The two were set numerous times to settle the score in the UFC Lightweight division, but it turns out the matchup was never meant to be.

Three separate fight cancellations ended the possibility of the two matching up, and thus each fighter went on different journeys. Since Tony Ferguson’s 2019 victory over Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone, he has lost five fights in a row, and it’s now clear that Tony’s title aspirations are a thing of the past. Khabib Nurmagomedov ended his MMA career on a high note, retaining his UFC Lightweight title over Justin Gaethje at UFC 254 in 2020.

While Ferguson and Nurmagomedov never had the chance to settle their rivalry inside the cage, this new claim by Tony Ferguson re-ignites a heated rivalry from their past.

Ali Abdelaziz, Bella Muhammad, Colby Covington

Mixed Martial Arts manager Ali Abdelaziz has revealed that the UFC wanted The Ultimate Fighter to feature Belal Muhammad and Colby Covington as head coaches. 

Abdelaziz, who manages several top MMA stars, said Muhammad agreed but that Covington is nowhere to be found. Covington has not fought in nearly a year. He’s been involved in a legal matter against former friend-turned-opponent Jorge Masvidal stemming from a physical altercation in Miami last March. 

During an interview with The Schmo, Abdelaziz revealed The Ultimate Fighter offer and shared his thoughts on Covington’s absence. 

“The UFC reached out to me and said Belal vs. Colby coaching The Ultimate Fighter. We said yes. Nobody can find Colby. Nobody knows where he’s at. Last time I heard he was at the UFC PI (performance institute) was for securities. I don’t know why. Now Masvidal is fighting. I don’t know if he’s trying to sue Masvidal. Trying to cash in or trying to do what, but fight or just leave the sport. Or get out of the rankings. Belal should be fighting for the title to be honest with you. I don’t care what anybody says.” (h/t Middle Easy)

Ali Abdelaziz Believes Belal Muhammad Deserves A Title Shot 

The UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards will face former titleholder Kamaru Usman in a trilogy fight on March 18 at UFC 286. Abdelaziz is confident that after Muhammad beats Covington, he’ll face the winner of next month’s title fight. 

‘Remember the Name’ is 8-0-1 NC in his last nine fights. He’s coming off an impressive TKO win over rising contender Sean Brady in October at UFC 280.

“The UFC very much saying they are working on a Colby Covington fight,” Abdelaziz said. “This is the right fight and there’s no doubt in my mind Belal [will] beat him and he’ll find Kamaru (Usman). The winner of Kamaru/Leon.” (h/t Middle Easy)
