Khabib Nurmagomedov’s manager Ali Abdelaziz has been at the center of many controversies. The heated comments made by Conor McGregor about his past during the UFC 229 saga further made Abdelaziz a polarising figure in the MMA community. However, that did not hinder Abdelaziz from becoming one of the most influential entities in the world of MMA today.

Including Khabib Nurmagomedov, Abdelaziz has managed several high-profile champions across several MMA promotions. Presently, he represents top superstars like Islam Makhachev, Henry Cejudo, Kamaru Usman, and Kayla Harrison, to name a few. Nevertheless, all these feathers on his cap amount to nothing when the fans decide to have a joke at his expense.

Recently, the 45-year-old shared an image on his Instagram. In the picture, he was posing with UFC president Dana White, and his clients Justin Gaethje and Henry Cejudo. The image seems to have been taken when the group met Donald Trump at a rally in 2020.

While the Dominance MMA head honcho was proud to display himself and his companions, fans found an opportunity to mock the Egyptian.
