Manager of Khabib Nurmagomedov Says Conor McGregor Is Not A Good Guy

In an interview with USA Today, Khabib Nurmagomedov’s manager Ali Abdelaziz blamed the post-fight incident at UFC 229 on Conor McGregor, who he called a “horrible human being.”

He said: “You can’t bite a dog and not expect to be bitten. You can’t play with fire and not expect to be burned. This man, Conor McGregor, is not a good guy. I got zero respect for Conor McGregor. His team, his whole entourage, zero. These guys, they demand respect, but you earn respect. How are you going to earn respect when you talk crazy about people’s family, religion, countries?”

He also blamed the UFC for stirring up issues between the two in order to promote the fight. He added: “Let’s be real. The UFC promoted this fight with the videos. They didn’t promote this as going to a golf tournament. They promoted this as a fight.“
