Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov‘s rivalry was an intense affair that even both their teams got involved in it. Ali Abdelaziz, the manager of ‘The Eagle‘, came to the limelight with ‘The Notorious‘ calling him out during the first stare-down of the two fighters ahead of the UFC 229 clash. And even in 2022, things are not cordial between the Irishman and Ali Abdelaziz.

The self-proclaimed ‘The Face of the Fight Game‘, Conor McGregor, often targets the Nurmagomedov camp on social media with his witty tweets. This time around, he posted a snap from the UFC 229 post-fight brawl, where the undefeated & former lightweight champion’s jumping the cage started a melee inside the Octagon.
‘The Notorious’ shared a collage with two pictures. While the first picture showed a team member of Nurmagomedov holding a Papakha in one hand and attacking Conor McGregor with the other, the second pic shows how McGregor slipped to his right to avoid the punch coming in and landed a left hand of his own.

Ali Abdelaziz responded to Conor McGregor’s post and wrote, “One day you be there keyboard not going to help you keep working hard.”

From remembering McGregor’s comment at the UFC 229 press conference to Ali Abdelaziz, to not getting a clear idea of what Khabib Nurmagomedov’s manager is saying, to presenting him with a UFC belt with a keyboard printed on it, fans showed no mercy to Abdelaziz’s tweet.

Thus, perhaps considering their long-term rivalry, ‘The Notorious’ took a jibe at Nurmagomedov and put an infamous snap of him landing a shot on one of his brothers from his failed title bout attempt on October 6, 2018, and asked to put it in the UFC Hall of Fame.
