“If You’re Getting Whupped You Can Say Nothing About That”- Ali Abdelaziz Puts Henry Cejudo Ahead of Conor McGregor

Ali Abdelaziz has never been one to shy away from expressing his admiration for Henry Cejudo. For instance, in a recent interview with MMA Junkie’s John Morgan, Abdelaziz talks about Triple C’s strong marketing game. Besides that, Abdelaziz draws a comparison between Conor McGregor and Henry Cejudo.

Something that we can all agree on is the fact that Henry Cejudo is adept at keeping himself in the headlines. From making outrageous statements to wanting to take on two fighters in one night. Cejudo certainly has a way of marketing himself. Love it or hate it, one must accept it has helped keep his name on people’s lips even though June 2019 was the last time he stepped into the octagon.

Ali Abdelaziz takes a dig at Conor McGregor

It seems like, Ali Abdelaziz feels the same way. Following which the Egyptian born businessman goes on to compare The Messenger to Conor McGregor’s way of marketing himself.

“He’s not like McGregor. McGregor keeps himself in the headlines by bulls****ing people. By putting [forth a] false narrative. Henry stays in the headlines because he reminds everybody, ‘Hey shut up, I’m the Triple C. I’m the Flyweight champion, the Bantamweight champion, Olympic champion.'”- Ali Abdelaziz

The president and founder of Dominance MMA Management feels Cejudo makes his claims based on everything that he has achieved. However, he feels the Irishman talks big but has no grounds for the same.

“[Cejudo] is putting people in that place by saying the correct things. Conor talks about some stuff that happened a long time ago, coming off a loss. If he’s coming off a loss and talking like that. It’s a joke. If you’re getting whupped you can say nothing about that”- Ali Abdelaziz
