Conor McGregor has stepped into yet another controversy with rumors of his return fight against Justin Gaethje flying around on the internet. Ali Abdelaziz, the former manager for Khabib Nurmagomedov, recently opened up on why Dana White doesn’t talk about ‘The Notorious’, anymore. Abdelaziz and McGregor have had quite a long feud in the past. The manager wasn’t impressed with the Dubliner’s fighting prowess.

Furthermore, Abdelaziz doesn’t believe that the Irishman would fight again. He claimed that Gaethje was far superior to McGregor. But that wasn’t all. The MMA manager seemed to be convinced that McGregor was simply aiming for nothing but the hype off of ‘The Highlight’.

Ali Abdelaziz backs up why Dana White won’t talk about Conor McGregor

Talking to TMZ Sports, Abdelaziz declared that McGregor was not serious regarding his fights. He simply had different priorities and fighting was not at the top. The manager brushed aside every single idea of McGregor’s return. 

He said, “He’s not a serious guy. You understand? He’s willing to come and shoot The Ultimate Fighter for 6 weeks. But he’s not willing to get off the juice and train. That show you what his priority is. You understand, his priority is hype, TV, ESPN, you understand?”

Thereafter, he talked about why the UFC president wasn’t talking about the UFC star. He claimed, “You don’t see Dana White talking about him anymore. You know why? Because Dana is a real motherf***er, that’s what Dana is. He’s a gangster. Gangsters don’t talk about pretenders.” 

Abdelaziz thinks McGregor only wants the hype, not the fight

During the interview with TMZ Sports, Abdelaziz declared that Gaethje was indeed one of the greatest fighters in the lightweight division. When the talk shifted towards the rumored return of McGregor to fight Gaethje, he wasn’t ready to believe it. 

Abdelaziz claimed that McGregor was not serious about the fights. He believed that the ‘Mystic Mac’ just wanted the hype, and was using Gaethje’s name for it. He further claimed that it would be wise for McGregor to stay away to avoid getting embarrassed in front of his family.
