Ali Abdelaziz, the manager of UFC lightweight contender Khabib Nurmagomedov, destroyed top contender Tony Ferguson on Twitter.
Abdelaziz attacked Ferguson on Twitter after Ferguson had sent out a tweet insulting his client.
“Did you see what uncle (UFC President Dana White) say Conor vs (Khabib Nurmagomedov) you nobody gives a (expletive) about you but your time will come keep talking (expletive),” Abdelaziz said in a tweet directed at Ferguson.
The bad blood between Ferguson and Nurmagomedov stems from their last-minute fight cancellation back in March.
At UFC 209, Ferguson was scheduled to fight Nurmagomedov for an interim UFC lightweight title. However, just hours before the weigh-ins, Nurmagomedov was taken to a hospital due to issues with cutting weight. Their title fight was then canceled.
On Thursday, Dana White revealed UFC Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor wants to fight Nurmagomedov after he competes in a boxing match against Floyd “Money” Mayweather on Aug. 26. However, White also said that Nurmagomedov may fight Ferguson before then in order to determine a true number one contender.
