Though Khabib Nurmagomedov is booked for the UFC 223 main event against Tony Ferguson, his camp can’t help but continue to bring up Conor McGregor’s name.
All lightweights in the UFC are guilty of this though, as Conor McGregor is the biggest star the sport has ever seen, and if you aren’t going to go big, you might as well go home.
Recently though, Khabib’s manager took to The MMA Hour, and questioned the credentials of the SBG leader in John Kavanagh.
Ali Abdelaziz is a controversial figure in his own right. However, he now represents some of the biggest names in MMA today, and he’s always talking trash and backing up his fighters.
When he was on the MMA Hour, he questioned the legitimacy of John Kavanagh’s BJJ blackbelt, claiming that he knows all the high-level BJJ coaches and John was not given his blackbelt by anyone credible.
He then took these words to twitter too, and that’s when McGregor coach/sparring partner and teammate Dillon Danis issued the first camp vs. camp threat.
Check it out:
I don't know who give him his black belt… do you? Never said he's a bad coach but he doesn't give 100% https://t.co/JBtKedZ6gk
