Khabib's Manager Slams McGregor's Controversial Islamism Remarks

In the latest development in the ongoing feud between UFC stars Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor, Nurmagomedov's manager, Ali Abdelaziz, has launched a scathing attack on McGregor. The incident was sparked by a recent social media post from McGregor, in which he compared certain fruits that should not be kept together to radical Islamism in Ireland.

Abdelaziz, who has frequently targeted McGregor in the past due to the heated rivalry between the two fighters, did not take kindly to the Irishman's remarks. In a fiery response, Abdelaziz slammed McGregor, citing the latter's past controversies and accusing him of raping Irish women. Abdelaziz wrote, "What about you stop ra*ing your own citizen, woman of Ireland and maybe people will respect you. you're a piece of sh*t."

This is not the first time the two camps have been involved in a war of words. The rivalry between Nurmagomedov and McGregor reached its peak in 2018 when the two faced off in the main event of UFC 229, with Nurmagomedov emerging victorious via a fourth-round submission. The aftermath of that fight saw a wild brawl break out between the two teams inside the arena, with Abdelaziz revealing that UFC president Dana White had asked him to help calm the situation.

As of August 3rd, 2025, the feud between Nurmagomedov and McGregor appears to be ongoing, with Abdelaziz's latest outburst serving as the latest chapter in their long-standing rivalry.
