If I see Conor McGregor I'll smack him - Ali Abdelaziz | Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show

MMA manager Ali Abdelaziz joins Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show in studio to clear the air with Ariel regarding the beef between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor, with Ali claiming it started with a tweet by McGregor’s trainer John Kavanagh. (8:20) Ali explains why he’s still made despite Khabib submitting Conor at UFC 229. Abdelaziz also discusses a lawsuit he says he has pending because of the chaos surrounding the post-fight brawl.

Ali acts like he's got a 27-0 record. Please tone it down and stop being so confrontational. It makes Team Khabib look bad. And we all love Khabib and his character.

@Mr djeezy ..Thank you for this link. Wow!, i never knew it was this deep. I think it's time to call for a boycott of every American fighter that he represents. How can these fighters stay with and support him...do they not know about him? What's next, Flag burning Pedophile managers? lol.

He always gets them super fast and easy title shots I am 100 percent sure he pays Dana a good amount of money for that. His fighters always get super easy style matchups (Islam, Khabib) Umar is #11 and gets #1 Sandhagen thats why

[@codygrant9066]

His fighters get paid good and get constant title shots. I’d choose him as a manager too if I was a fighter.

[@myalternatemeswordofthefor4928]

Lol Ariel , great show. I didn't realize this but i watch this like everyday.

[@trenty6175]

You know, as much as the media has swayed me against Ali. I must say, he had courage to go onto a talk show like Ariel's and speak in a language he's not fluent in to explain himself. I get why he is angry, personally, I think it would be best for him to take this legal if he is still this bothered about it. His only problem is he won't because his pride, or this 'gangster' lifestyle he considers himself to live by will prevent him from doing so, hence, this will bother him until his death. His ego is working against him in this case, but, I do get why he felt the way he did and I hope he can stop putting so much pressure on himself to live by these self-proclaimed 'gangster/brother' rules and figure out how to do it so it can better impact his public image.

[@robinstephen2365]

He should have finished the interview with...oh btw...where's Noah?

[@MadaraJoestar]

26:00 lmaooooooo 'i got more followers then tony Ferguson' 😀😀😂😂😂

[@FExprt]

I respect both of them. Ariel is direct and not a back stabber, but he is slick and can be passive aggressive at the worst time and know how to make the guy who over react, look bad and apologize. Ali is well respected and he has a huge ego but he doesn't hide it, he is not only talk, and Ariels ego is just as big but he is able to hide it better and thats needed for Ariels career. Both are doing amazing at their careers. In the end they respect each other and two strong egos will have disagreements...Plus Ariel knows how to go with the flow and never cause huge waves if its not supposed to create a bigger wave and that is what ALI is mad about, for not brining the same attention to all those issues and instead (in Alis mind) gave those guys a pass to act that way without any public consequences AREIEL is a huge factor when things do or dont get dressed..It became all too much back and forth in the end. Im sure they will be ok again.

[@clydeshelton4674]

Nice analysis

[@FExprt]

@@clydeshelton4674 thx, its just my opinion and I could be wrong as im human. Plus I doubt anything will ever come of it. Conor will probably never be on top again even though he was my fav fighter during his time of rise, but also seemed to change very fast with all the money and fame. But than again, im not sure I would handle it better, its easy for us to talk and judge. In the end im just a fan of the sport...I look forward and excited to see another Khabib or Conor type fighter. I guess Francis N has a movie type story and how he survived to even make it to France and then became the UFC champion. Im pretty sure they will make a movie about him, eve more so if he ends up dominating longer.

[@clydeshelton4674]

​@@FExprt Francis is not as intriguing as Conor or even Khabib. He may be limited by his english, but I dont see the mystique that Conor had or even Khabib. Conor´s mystique was his crazy talk that became reality, defeating fighters with beautiful combinations, the way he moved and for me the way he took it all so serious; it was war. The massive fame and wealth that came along with his legendary aura really destroyed his persona. I adored him as a younger man, but now it is heartbreaking to see the shell of a legend. I think his quote by Van Gogh is spot on these days, he will die a mad man. That seems like the path he is on, unfortantely.

[@FExprt]

@@clydeshelton4674 I was being very generalized in regards to what I look forward to. Each story is unique, I was talking more about what Francis had to overcome which is by far the hardest road to success. Will that make him a bigger star? I doubt it because of the factors you mentioned but you never know and in the end its just another Fighter that brings something unique to UFC and depending on how well he does, he could surprise us but he is no longer that young either so well see.

Ali is Tap Machine, he have only 2 fights on KZbin and 2 of them he tapped, one in about 10 seconds. And I think he is afraid of a smack, and if he afraid of a smack from Conor, a smack will feel like a double-barrel shotgun.

Khabib will never be that guy and that fac makes the losers even more angry. Just accept some people are born to be and you were not, I was not. You guys get shit frm dickriding so hard.
