The manager’s nose also began to bleed after receiving punches from Gaethje. When the fight fans came across the video, they were quick to react.
Fans react to the ‘bloody’ affair
Ali Abdelaziz is famous among the MMA community as the manager of famous UFC fighters. Abdelaziz has not yet proven that he has any fighting skills. Hence, some fans questioned him about acting like a fighter in front of Gaethje.
One fan even mocked him for his poor striking.
“Why Does this guy act like he’s one of the fighters…”
“Bro I’m sorry but what is that striking”
Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor are two of the most famous rivals in the UFC. This paved the way for beef between McGregor and Abdelaziz. A fan commented in light of that.
“This the guy that said he’d beat up Conor bro wouldn’t last 2 minutes with Conor”
When Khabib Nurmagomedov and Mike Tyson sat together, Nurmagomedov mentioned that Justin Gaethje “hit like truck.” Among all the opponents of ‘The Eagle, it is ‘The Highlight’ who hits the hardest.
A few fans pointed this out.
“Justin is the last guy I would want to sparry with lol “He hit like truck””
“Even khabib admit justin punch harder like a truck”
Few other fans took the opportunity to mock the appearance of Gaethje’s manager; they called him a “rat.”
“If there was ever a person that resembled a rat, that’s it”
“Good make that rat bleed”
From the reactions of the fans, it is clear that they loved Gaethje’s performance. On the other hand, his manager, Ali Abdelaziz, highly disappointed them.
