Ali Abdelaziz’s beef with Conor McGregor took another turn as the manager took one more dig at the Irish fighter’s legacy in the UFC. This time, he involved the UFC Hall of Famer Michael Bisping as well, and praised him for not being a Conor McGregor “kiss a*s.”

Abdelaziz took to Twitter to react to a statement made by Michael Bisping. The statement was, “Conor McGregor had a crazy run, but doesn’t go down as one of the featherweight greats.” To this Abdelaziz reacted and wrote, “No kiss a*s Michael is a real one.”

This isn’t the first time that Abdelaziz has talked down on Conor McGregor’s achievements. Ever since his bout with Khabib Nurmagomedov, the two have shown their dislike for one another.

McGregor is regarded by many as one of the greatest fighters at featherweight. During his run at featherweight, McGregor defeated the best of the best. This included Max Holloway, Dustin Poirier, Chad Mendes, and the former champion who he dethroned in his prime, Jose Aldo.

Bisping’s statement was based on the fact that even though McGregor had an exceptional run at featherweight, he didn’t defend the title and ended up vacating it. This is why Bisping doesn’t count him as one of the featherweight division’s greatest fighters.

McGregor said, “You should never take information from an informant. You should keep distance from the informant at all times, and that’s putting it for the media. That’s the friendly way of putting it. His manager is a f***ing snitch, terrorist rat, and that’s it.”

McGregor then went on to say that Abdelaziz was caught with five passports and turned on his own people to become an informant. McGregor said, “he was pulled off of a flight going from Cairo, Egypt to New York City on September 11, 2001. He was caught with five passports in his possession. He turned informant and turned on the people that he was working with…. I don’t even know how that man is in this f****n’ country.”
