UFC: Khabib Nurmagomedov’s manager attacks ‘fake’ Conor McGregor in bizarre tirade
Khabib Nurmagomedov’s manager Ali Abdelaziz has labelled Conor McGregor a “fake” and “jealous prostitute” in a bizarre rant.
Nurmagomedov was withdrawn from the UFC 249 card due to go ahead on tribal land in California on 18 April after the lightweight champion returned to Russia following the coronavirus outbreak.
McGregor claimed Nurmagomedov was “a chicken” after Justin Gaethje was confirmed as Tony Ferguson’s new opponent earlier this week
Speaking to TMZ Sports, Abdelaziz said: ”It’s crazy because this guy has been telling people to stay home, don’t come outside, he’s donating millions of dollars, which now we know this s*** is all fake.
“You’re telling everybody to stay home, now Khabib – the government of Russia says he can’t travel, you’re going to call him a chicken?”
McGregor also claimed UFC president Dana White had promised him the opportunity to rematch Nurmagomedov. However, Abdelaziz dismissed the prospect and said the Irishman is “not even in the conversation right now”.
“He’s not No 1, he’s not No 2, he’s not No 3. It’s Khabib, Justin, Tony. He’s No 4,” he said.
“He’s just like a jealous prostitute, she’s got too old for her to make money. He’s like Khabib said, he’s a prostitute, he knows it’s over, his time is done.
“As a fighter he’s done, he’s not even in the top three. Why even talk? Why don’t you even jump on a plane and come fight Tony Ferguson?
“I bet he understands that Tony Ferguson would beat his ass too. All those three guys would beat his ass. Justin, Tony and Khabib.”
