Ali Abdelaziz serves as a manager for Nurmagomedov and McGregor has taken aim at him as well, bringing up Abdelaziz?s estranged son.
?Shut your mouth, Ali Abdelaziz,? McGregor said during the UFC 229 press conference. ?You terrorist snitch! I know a lot about you as well, you mad man. I know a lot about you as well! You keep your mouth shut kid! How?s Noah? How?s Noah? Yeah, shut your mouth! Never speak about me, ever in your life! Watch yourself around me, ?cuz you?ll be out of here quick.?
For those who don?t know what McGregor is referencing with Abdelaziz?s son, a series of Twitter posts by Mike Russell of Real Fight Stories should clear it up:
