However, the match ended up in a unanimous decision in favor of the Russian. A severe backlash from other MMA stars and fans followed the result declaration of the fight. Before the dust could even settle, Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev‘s manager, Ali Abdelaziz, had made another disastrous tweet related to the fight.

Nonetheless, he soon realized that he was putting himself in huge trouble and deleted the post. The Canadian-American journalist, Ariel Helwani, made sure that he gave his brutally honest take on Abdelaziz’s tweet.

The disastrous tweet of Islam Makhachev’s Manager

Makhachev‘s manager was not able to contain his anger when the Kiwi MMA fighter, Dan Hooker, accused the Dagestani fighter of cheating in UFC 284. According to “The Hangman,” Makhachev won against Volkanovski by illegally using an IV prior to his fight to rehydrate. This infuriated Abdelaziz, who constantly tries to protect the players under his umbrella. Without even giving it a second thought, the manager took to his Twitter handle to defend Makhachev.

He wrote, “For all those idiots out there, any fighter under the UFC banner can take 2-3 liters of IV as long as it’s done by a nurse or a professional, next week I’m gonna expose everybody. Islam Makhachev is the Pound-For-Pound King”

Additionally, the tweet gave the impression that Makhachev has illegally used IV for his UFC 284 match. His tweet made the allegations against the lightweight champion much stronger. However, he was too late. Whatever he told did spread like wildfire.

Nate Diaz could not stop himself from laughing

One Twitter user asked for Helwani’s opinion regarding Abdelaziz’s post and later deleting it. As a response to the MMA Analyst Helwani said, “Yes. He deleted it because someone, I would think, told him he was incriminating himself with this tweet. You can’t take 2-3 L by a professional or not. It’s 100 ml per 12 hours (among other details). Massive difference.” 

The MMA journalist was able to put the facts on the table, and this captured the eyes of the former UFC fighter, Nate Diaz. The Stockton native replied to Helwani’s response with a laughing emoji. Diaz has openly declared that he wanted Volkanovski to win, and that he didn’t think Makhachev deserves to top Mens PFP and the title win.
