Mixed martial arts referee veteran turned Bellator MMA commentator “Big” John McCarthy recently took to social media to share a heated message concerning former UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar’s manager Ali Abelaziz. Now UFC Hall of Famer Forrest Griffin has decided to come forward with a statement of his own.
UFC superstar Conor McGregor recently revealed an interest in returning to the octagon after having not competed since 2016. “Notorious” even hinted to possibly filling the empty main event slot for UFC 222 against Frankie Edgar.
Following the hint, Ali Abelaziz took to social media with an irate response for McGregor.
