Ali Abdelaziz blasts USADA in the aftermath of the drama involving Jon Jones and the handling of UFC 232.

The Dominance MMA Management CEO put Jones and UFC officials on notice during a recent interview. This manager has no problems with expressing his feelings on any topic and now that includes USADA.

Dana White has made it known that they had to move UFC 232 from Las Vegas to Inglewood, California due to the NSAC not having time to go over this incident. That was the fact one of Jones’ test from earlier this month was found to have an ‘atypical finding.’ It led to the NSAC not licensing him and the UFC was forced to move the show.

“USADA’s a joke; USADA is fake,” Abdelaziz told MMAjunkie Radio. “Everything the UFC is saying has been right. Whatever beef between him [sic] and Jon Jones is between them. Jon Jones is one of the best fighters ever. But stuff like that will haunt your legacy. Everybody follows Nevada. The UFC always follows Nevada, but now you have another commissioner. They don’t follow Nevada or they go against what Nevada do. The UFC becomes so big. They control so many different areas in the sport and outside the sport. You can’t knock them for (relocating UFC 232).”

Abdelaziz made it known that he’s not against these efforts to prevent cheating in the sport. But he does have frustiation with punishments being ranged from case to case. With such a mindset, he thinks there are more questions than answers.

“(Expletive) USADA,” Abdelaziz said. “I don’t like them. They’re inconsistent; they’re not fair to people. They treat everybody different, they treat every situation different. The UFC brought them into the sport, but why even have them? I’m not an expert about drugs, but it’s out of your system. Then it comes back into your system because you’re cutting weight? I don’t know.”

“I cannot point fingers, but you’ve got guys like (Daniel Cormier). Who fought Jon two times, going crazy. I agree with ‘DC.’ Like, how are you going to let this guy fight again with this stuff? At least give him two or three months to clear up, then after that have him fight.”

Khabib’s manager continues to put former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion Conor McGregor on blast.

Ali Abdelaziz still has personal issues with McGregor despite the fact that Khabib Nurmagomedov won the fight. The UFC lightweight champion was able to silence McGregor at the UFC 229 pay-per-view event. This is where he submitted McGregor after a dominant performance.

While speaking with ESPN’s Ariel Helwani on his MMA show, Abdelaziz went off on McGregor by stating that if he sees him then he would smack. In fact, he would break his face for talking about his family.

“I want to punch Conor McGregor across his nose and break his face for talking about my family. Khabib got his revenge, but I didn’t.”

This was a fiery rant. At one point, he brought up how he thinks that McGregor’s longtime friend and training partner Artem Lobov should be thankful. Thanking McGregor for keeping him under contract with the UFC.

“If Artem Lobov wasn’t Conor McGregor’s friend, he wouldn’t be in the UFC. It’s that simple.”

This drama all started in the lead up of Khabib vs. McGregor happening at the UFC 229 event. It saw McGregor say some harsh comments about the UFC champion. Although Abdelaziz thinks McGregor is a great promoter, he still sees him as a prostitute despite the fact that he changed the game.

“Conor McGregor has changed the game as far as promotion is concerned. But he is still a prostitute.”
