Khabib Nurmagoemdov’s Manager Calls Rival Conor McGregor UFC’s Easiest Cash Grab
Ali Abdelaziz and Conor McGregor
When it comes to legendary rivalries in combat sports, the clash between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor is hard to beat. It was so intense that even friendships turned into battle lines, with fans picking sides like it was a Marvel vs. DC showdown. Even now, Khabib’s team and McGregor’s camp are throwing jabs at each other without caring about the boundaries. Likewise, Khabib’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz, who is never shy about exchanging words with McGregor, took another shot at the Irishman. This time, he went all out, dismissing the former double champ like he is yesterday’s news, calling him the most effortless payday in the game.
In a recent interview with Brett Okamoto, Abdelaziz was asked if a Justin Gaethje vs. Conor McGregor fight might be in the works, especially with Michael Chandler now booked against Charles Oliveira for UFC 309. There’s no denying it would be a solid matchup, with both fighters being top-tier. Regarding the potential fight, Abdelaziz said that while Gaethje doesn’t care about fighting McGregor, he wouldn’t mind it since it’s “easy money.”
In his words, “Everybody likes easy money. He is one of the easiest fights in the UFC’s lightweight division. He’s coked out, drunked out, getting kicked out of countries, and behaving badly. He got kicked out of Monaco I believe. Honestly, if the UFC wants to make it, why not? If they don’t, who cares about it.”
It’s clear that fans don’t get as excited about McGregor news as they once did. After nearly a year of headlines and even being booked to fight Chandler, ‘The Notorious’ pulled out at the last second. His repeated talk of comebacks has definitely tarnished some of the goodwill he once had. Now, Khabib’s manager, Abdelaziz, has capitalized on the shift in fan opinion, taking another jab at McGregor.
Dana White Drops Update On Conor McGregor’s Comeback
When McGregor returns, it’s not just a big payday for him and his opponent; everyone involved cashes in. Consequently, the UFC CEO would be happier than anyone to see him return. However, he has disappointed fans by debunking McGregor’s return rumors. But there is good news for fans: the UFC Head Honcho has just dropped a new update on McGregor’s comeback.
Talking about his comeback, White stated, “Conor McGregor will fight next year, early 2025. As far as hunger, he’s a very wealthy guy, we’ll find out when he comes back.”
After so many disappointments, fans are really hoping this news is authentic. There is no doubt the hype around his return has waned, but once he hits the pre-fight presser, he’ll regain that lost excitement.
