While he is a prominent MMA manager, fans are advising Ali Abdelaziz against picking a fight against his foes. Abdelaziz is one of the more familiar faces in MMA and a leading manager within the sport. The Egyptian has managed stars like Khabib Nurmagomedov. The 45-year-old currently manages several champions across various promotions. Some of them are UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev and Bellator lightweight champion Usman Nurmagomedov.
