His manager, while talking with TMZ Sports, couldn’t stop praising the fighter. They discussed who could be his next opponent, and they went through a list of veterans from the division. Abdelaziz believes Chimaev has what it takes to knock out the so-called greats.

Abdelaziz said, “Nate Diaz, Masvidal, some of these guys, I think he’d mop the floor with them too. I think he’ll beat the sh*t out of these guys. These guys are a little bit older, they’re veterans, they’re great fighters, but I think there are levels to this.”

Conor McGregor is mentally unstable and I wish him the best of luck. He has kids and a family and I want him to first take care of his personal issues before he comes on to Khamzat. He (Khamzat Chimaev) will really kill him (McGregor). I think it’s not even a fair fight.”

He ended the interview by saying, “A fight like that with someone who has a big name, of course, you will take the fight. But Khamzat will really put Conor in a wheelchair.
