Khabib Nurmagomedov’s manager on Conor McGregor brawl, Floyd Mayweather | ESPN MMS
Ali Abdelaziz, UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov’s trainer, sits down with Brett Okamoto to discuss the bad blood between Khabib and Conor McGregor that boiled over at UFC 229 in Las Vegas. (0:11) Abdelaziz expresses his thoughts on the post-fight brawl between Khabib’s team and Conor’s team and how he believes there should be a suspension for both sides, but there still needs to be payment. Abdelaziz reacts to the comments McGregor made towards Khabib and his family, saying the remarks were “racist.” (3:57) In terms of a possible rematch between Khabib and McGregor, Abdelaziz explains that him and Khabib have “bigger fish to fry” and says if Conor continues to push for another bout, he will need to get “life insurance for $100 million.” (6:47) Adbelaziz details why Tony Ferguson is not next in line to fight Nurmagomedov and (9:56) in regards to a possible super fight between Khabib and Georges St-Pierre, Adbelaziz would like to see it happen and also thinks the fans would like it as well, but does not expect the UFC to make it happen especially not for the title. (11:47) With the rumors of a potential boxing match between Khabib and Floyd Mayweather Jr. swirling around, Adbelaziz does not think the chances are high it will happen and states that Khabib respects his UFC contract.

“Sitting in a wheel chair in Ireland drinking out of a straw” lmfao I’m done😂😂
This aged like a fine wine
Facts 🤣
@@theyab6173 yo
Conor doesn't deserve the rematch. Khabib vs Tony is next
I don't know it's clear he is worried how well Tony matches up with Khabib.
I agree with the statement the Khabib carried Conor to the 4th round. He could have finished him earlier if that was his desire. The only chance Conor has now at 155 is Khabib's retirement.
You predicted Khabib retirement 🧐
Best manager in the game period!
I love how he expresses himself, a soothing calmness... It reflects his intellect and shows sign of a confident man. Not a boy Who barks, like the most of ufc. Abdulaziz, keep managing the Dagestani pride ✌️
Why is The mic so bad?
i love seeing everyone get triggered over ali😂
all these angry little Conor fans, oh noez dat nastee man iz tewwowist :D
@@guccimane7027 what a brain dead you are.
Have y'all not seen the god damn evidence lmao fuckin dummies
Absolute Muppet paranoid victim
@@guccimane7027 watching propaganda is not considered evidence so stop with the bullshit.
Cool fact for my fellow Muslims: Khabib Nurmagomedov is actually pronounced as Habib Nurmohamed-ov which is translated from Arabic in english as: Khabib = beloved NurMuhamed = light of Muhammed So his name means beloved the light of Muhammed. Pretty cool! Reminds me of Muhammed Ali as well and how both legends have the name "Muhammed" after our Prophet Pbuh. May Allah SWT bless them both and bring peace to every single human being and the ummah. Ameen. :)
Yeah there is no H. hence Khabib is actually pronounced Habib. Thats how Khabib calls himself.
@Mad Max Omg 😂😂
Stop making bs up. Muhammed pbuh was a role model for every person; kindness and respect for all. I think Khabib needs to smash you LMAO
893097011r muhammad ali's a legend. Khabib is not. He is phony
Muhammad, piss be upon him.
Conor should Thank herb dean for Savin his Life 👏
Those strikes were in no danger if knocking conor out,conor had a black eye after the fight,khabib was mad becauae he couldnt knock conor out,he could never knock conor out,khabib is boring as fuck,a vanilla champ,i hope tony beats his ass,already sick of this so called sjw khabib era.
Your profile picture is very intimidating.....
true i support conor, but wht ali said is true, conor couldve been killed and thinking about it, if this was in the middl ages and conor said the words tht he said, he wouldve been killed in a ninstance
@Arsenal K dude you would tap out too so STFU
@@shaneadams6687 Lol, youre stupid.
Ali roasted that Irish Quitter
No, this is MMA you lose by getting knocked out, tapping out/ being passed out from a choke which can greatly damage brain cells btw or by losing on points. 99 percent of mma fighters have losses on their records some have ko's and some have subs some have both. losing by ko or sub is the same when someone gets knocked out do you call them a quitter? what kind of logic is that even
This guy is a smart cookie, he played the FBI and the American government like a guitar. Seriously listen to him, he is not as dumb as he leads you to believe.
i bet you would tap if it was you,idiot go and jurk off to khabib
@@mehrabque5452 wake up pussy. Conor is a pussy just like his fangirls like you.
Ali had a lot of trash to say for not even being the one who steps in the octagon with conor. Just riding what Khabib achieved. You never once saw this from Conor's team after historical victories. Cowardly.
Connor "the tapper" mcgreggor
Great! I love his speech! when Conor is trash talking and humiliating people everyone's laughing, but when someone else does it everyone becomes a peaceful Buddha and start giving moral lessons
this camera work makes it feel like a 60 minutes interview
Nonce bust
Wow. Powerful interview from Ali.
Fact is fact..... Conor never expected this fight result would be like this but if he ask for rematch the result would be the same again.
fact my ass, please learn the meaning of the word fact k.
@@DK-yz9xk I don't hate Conor but the way khabib answered Conor in the ring was impressive . Khabib also slapped him , who they used to call best striker.
@@DK-yz9xk No that's a fact.
@dont worry, now your second comment was a fact, but to claim the result of their next fight will be the same, giving 0 chance to conor to win and calling that a fact is just wrong. that was wat i was pointing out thats all.
Nefal K dude Khabib fans don’t understand what it means to be objective and don’t know their predictions don’t equate to facts.
Mr Ali is a great man of respect and honor he gave a beautiful commentary about Mr Khabib.
This guy is a beast. He talks as much shit as Conor except he does it with class and composure.
:/
Lol ? What?!
This man is such a dumbass, probably the dumbest melonhead around. The way he's trying to act hard. His shallow words are like steamy little turds falling in your drink.
@almost everything is a lie and you believe everything you read on the internet no matter the source?
Iska waran? Thought it was against your backwards religion to punch someone in the face, yet you support khabitch
Khabib says he fights for legacy. The Tony Ferguson fight followed by GSP makes sense in that regard. Ali Abdel Aziz, like Dana White, seems to be only interested in money. Love Khabib, but not so sure about his manager Abdel Aziz.
@@idzoavitsi4211 I agree. Khabib is loyal to a fault. I don't like the kind of language that his manager spouts off with. It runs contrary to the culture of respect Khabib wishes to restore in MMA.
Yeah, Khabib and his dad both seem like solid dudes you'd want in your corner, i hope he can see people will take advantage of loyalty like that and adjust his circle accordingly.
Nahh its a front. they are thinking the same. You can see it in Khabibs statements. Respect in their world comes from strength. Who commands the most strength they respect. Nothing to do with honor.
Ali is a vile snake
dana white and ali both the same both take advantage of vulnerable fighters
This is the kind of manager I would want ..sees the whole picture
Once the cage closed it was like a lion against a deer, the deer had no chance! Luckily Herb 'the zookeeper' Dean pulled khabib away from Conor. Ali on point Conor didn't want no part of the mauling but I guess we all saw who is about that life ✌
It's not a deer it's a hyena had a broken bone by a lion.
Hahaha Herb the zoo keeper I tough he is a scabies dog belong to daddy dana hahaha.
I dont think a deer would last 4 rounds with a lion
@@shill4958 lol khabib said beforehand he would drag it out for 4 rounds to punish him and then make him tap in the 4th. He could have easily finished him in 1st and 2nd rounds but wanted him to suffer more.
Wtf... ESPN couldn't afford a better MIC for this dude?
Yea - piss poor audio. ESPN please do better. Damn.
The main mic on Ali must have failed so they used the video raw audio
Praying for mercy and forgiveness 😂😂😂😂😂
this guy Ali is even better at talking shit than Conor !" :D))
wolf wellcreated he keeps repeating Conor’s video so he can learn the smack talk
The same way Conor repeats Mayweather's...
wolf wellcreated hell yeah. He can talk some.good shit. He's being Conors soul lol
No he’s not
A fact for everybody- Ali hurt his nose while carrying out a terrorist plan.... That's why you see that scar on his nose
Best fighter with best manager. Like this interview.
#KhabibTime the greatest 😎😎😎😎😎
Conor yapped his jaw endlessly in the build up, and Khabib nearly broke it in the fight.
Haha Khabub did Conor a favour by going for submission. Conor got an easy way out
Well somebody had to sell the fight because Khabib has the personality of a wet blanket.
@@chriswhamilton Boy got knocked down standing up lol. Left hand my ass.
Lolol khabib landed solid shot as they come. Conor popped right back up. Khabib has no power. He ya good at jumping men for 20 minutes. Lame lame style.
Check out my latest video on conor tapping
I want to see a documentary on this guy... hes had quite a life.
Nothing but facts Ali 🤣🤘🏼

@Evo Shift Why did Islam and Muslims ideology come into this. Even though I agree with some of your pounts, nobody mentioned Muslim or Islam until you did lol
Haha Conor wonnabe is here trying to learn a few things from Ali
Khabib 27-0 The 🐐 of MMA 🦅

Yo what an interview 👌
Big congratulations from Nepal 🇳🇵 🇳🇵🇳🇵👍
Long live Ali Abdelaziz !
Ali Abdelziz is a businessman. He knows his way around business and how to know when a fighter should fight. I like Ali. His English has gotten better to be the way
He's a manager he has to talk like tht
Khabib is about legacy. Ali is about money.
Azom Choudhury because he's a promoter
duh Einstein...
Ali is millionaire already, he's successful mma manager.
Well said
Wonderful interview ...
excellent interview
Megamind has to much say.
this guy is a complete goof.
Ali seem to be a nice humble man behind closed doors according to other videos I have seen of khabib, it's just that cursing and talking shit makes headlines, nobody wants to see boring interviews.
Megamind comment got me rolling on the floor boy
Too* idiot
alcott devalte yeah a real humble guy who threatened an old restaurant owner just because they welcomed brian ortega and he doesnt like ortega . He thought he had the right to tell the old dude who he is allowed to welcome in his restaurant. Ali is a manager and should be that and let the people fighting do the talking.
I was waiting for the interviewer to ask "How's Noah"
Ali you are like boss.👍. He just spoke the truth
So he said Conor had 0 value for khabib, then states they dont want tony because he's basically not popular enough for him to fight and wont make him the most money. Does this make any sense to you guys?
Who said they don't won't tony
No one said so !! Khabib literally said in an interview with Ariel few months ago that Tony and GSP are his next targets !
Ali would vacuum himself in punched bag
He said zero as in Conor is a joke in terms to respectable meaning.
he’s a russian muslim, that doesn’t make sense in general
Ali abdelaziz is a nice humble man, it's just that talking shit makes headlines.
Humble? Ahahahahaha!
Am i only the guy that likes ali? to me he seems like a loyal guy and he gets his fighters paid good money. Dont know why so many people hate him.
Youre what's known as 'gullible'
he sends a vibe of the guy you must never trust and i'm an arab and muslim . There's something about this guy that's a bit unsettling . how to explain it he seems like a snake for me.
I feel the same about him. A little sneaky snake. The way he talks, the things he says. It's just all bullshit.
Only pussy McTapper fans hate him for obvious reasons loool. Because their boyfriend tapped out like a bitch.
Yes, you probably are
Thank you very much for telling us the truth
bro muhammed ali would be ashamed about people comparing this chicken with a legend like him
Conor u realy Fooked
But he's still rich
Check out my latest video on conor
Proper fooked
Savage af!!
Nice volume level. Not bad for a high-school AV department.
is it just my computer is the volume on this super low?
Good to see u Ali one of the best manager in the world Alhamdulillah we all love u bro 👍🏼👍🏼😂
Why do people talk about the brawl and not the fact that McGregor getting smashed
I am a Khabib's fan....but...Despite the fact that Ali talked a lot , and we all know that McGregor changed MMA and made it more popular with fans....Ali said a lot of truth statement about business and money, which other people hide..kudos to Ali
Great sound. Good job
I guess Noah is fine - Ali to Conor
He’s definitely getting the child support money now.
@@Youknowwhathido Nope, ali doesn't pay child support for either of his abandoned kids
Gh0st there’s only one
@@Youknowwhathido two according to mike Russell
Weres Noah???
Sort the mic out ESPN!
Grace journalism there from Brett when Ali started talking about family lol
ali abdulaziz being brutally truthful here..
fix your audio it's been like this for a while
ignore this guy khabib will fight tony I know he will.
Totally agree with everything that he said.
I agree with Ali Abdul Aziz!!!
Conor fans feeling brave today 😂 "Straight outta hibernation"
First time I agree with everything that Ali said.
Even with the part of Ferguson not being next for Khabib?
@@ricardoibarra6455 only for that I don't
Ali Abdul aziz very powerful words brilliant top man Ali allhamdulilah
A great promo by Ali Abdulaziz...
This dudes right Connor does not deserve a rematch !!. it’s over Connor got beat down! it’s Khabib time 💯💯
Conor looks 10 years older after this humiliation. Khabib took his soul 😂😂😂😂🤣
My G Ali🤙🏼
espn, where is the volume at!
This dude utterly destroyed Conor. Only God knows how Conor feels. I feel bad for him. I hope he comes back sober-minded and humble yet still be Conor.
Humble yet still Conor .. oxymoron at its finest
@@QueensBeryRulesWhat I met to say was, I want to see Conor humble enough to not cross the line with his opponent ever again yet still be Conor by only attacking his rivals flaws in their fight games. Leading up this fight I was disgusted with Connors behavior and so I was team Khabib.
Yea he didnt overkill conor he hugged him till he was tired then got him in a hold woopty fyckn doo
I doubt it, I think he'll keep his mouth shut until (and I doubt this will be very soon, if ever) he avenges his loss to Khabib. but he shoulda started working on his wrestling since the Mendes fight, and since he has suffered two losses in a grappling fashion it tells me that Conor's not the type of guy to go back to the drawing board after suffering losses, much less is he a guy that constantly seaks self-improvement in all aspects of the sport, he may be a martial artist, but he's not a MIXED Martial Artist, people like George, Chris Weidman, Luke Rockhold, Jacare, Cain Velasquez (fan of Jones, but I haven't seen his guard tested since Guss 1, so I won;t mention him) - these guys all go back to the drawing board after losing as much as a single exchange in a fight. Conor is not that type, he cares more about movement on the feet and striking, Anderson Silva is the same. to love mixed martial arts you have to love both the striking arts as well as the ground arts, even if it be one of either; Nate: Boxing and Jiu Jitsu Cain: Wrestling and Boxing George St. Pierre: Karate, Muay Thai, Wrestling and Jiu Jitsu Chris Weidman: Wrestling, Jiu Jitsu and Muay thai Jones: Muay Thai and Wrestling Aldo: Muay Thai and bjj Pettis: Capoeira, taekwondo and jiu jitsu the ones who focus too much on either ground or stand up; they eventually get ousted, no matter how good they are take these for example: Anderson Silva: good on his feet, avoided the ground always, once a legend, now he's now a gate-keeper Brock Lesnar: bulldozed opponents to the ground and pounded them to ko/tko, once heavyweight king (people will contest me on this now, but if you were following closely around 10years ago you'd know) now a has-been Maia: did too little work on his feet to be confident in any fight with a half decent striker, messed up too many title fights, now a gate-keeper Chris Leben: (who remembers this guy?) crazy chin always swinging for the fences with aggression, at the end he was just a gatekeeper Gray Maynard: was destined to become champ with his grappling, now also a gatekeeper, he fought on the undercard the other night, people would never say he was top 5 for years
@@yamomsass1263 , don't feel bad, Spicy chicken still used his left hand to finish the fight, just like he said he would. ;)
Well said! Best manager in mma right now! Although I would love to see the super fight between Khabib vs GSP, I want to also see Khabib vs Tony!
Khabib nurmogomedov new KING if UFC
Khabib and Tony is the fight to make.
Ali and khabib have mazing relationship best team ever
whatever Conor has said/done to Khabib and his team, this manager shouldn't talk of crippling or breaking Conor's neck! this is unacceptable, Khabib would never say those things, he never did. this is a respect sport as he said. RESPECT! this manager is ramping up the ugly trash talk instead of calming the situation
STFU. He can say whatever he wants. Conor didnt stop digging at him. Why should he stop digging at Conor now that the shoe is on the other foot. Unacceptable my ass
Generally, Yes. But this one is an exception.
Respect for Khabib for what he said 6th of October. THE END.
Dear ESPN the audio volume is a bit low. Please increase the volume in the future videos.
This abdelaziz guy rekt conor in this interview. I'm almost feel sorry for ole' McQuitter.
can anyone tell me what conor said about his religion ?
Jon Snow King Of The Comments don’t believe this rat 🐀.

Ali abdelaziz best in the game 🐐🐐
damn he literally said if they rematch khabib will retire conor..damn thats some fucking confidence
Ali only care about Ali.. the fact he wants to see khabib get brain damage by boxing floyd says it all.
Mayweather vs khabib will get khabib a lot of money and that’s why Ali wants this fight to happen
lol , he called Ali A Terrorist not khabib this guy be changing everything conor did

Conor conned in his dumb fans into thinking he was unbeatable when he knew all along he was getting smeshed. The fans can’t accept they got fooled by a conman. You can say what you want about Ali but he just laying down facts.
Um he was 21-3 going into the fight. Fans already knew he can lose you idiot.
Yes UFC do everything for you to believe you are the king 👑 and then they set you up with someone to wipe you off, by the way everyone making fun of I АМ THE NEXT BRUCE LEE, is getting his ass busted...
Conor was more interested in selling whisky than fighting. Just look at press conferences for this fight, he spends half the time selling his whiskey. If Conor wants to beat Khabib he needs to dump all distractions and be the Conor of old. Also lose the coke.
@@sharinglungs3226 no chance dude he's to addicted, like most of Irish people...
He definitely was getting smeshed.
I hope conor sees this
Ali mentions Indonesia 🌹😍😍😍😍😍
