“Very Special Man” – Khabib Nurmagomedov’s Manager Ali Abdelaziz Gives a Shoutout to Donald Trump

Ali Abdelaziz is one of the most successful managers in combat sports. He is the CEO of Dominance MMA management and manages some of the biggest names in MMA. The Egyptian is the manager of Khabib Nurmagomedov, Kamaru Usman, Henry Cejudo, and Justin Gaethje.

He is known to manage champions and in the latest Instagram story; he gave a shout-out to a former U.S. president. Abdelaziz shared a post of Donald Trump, and along with the photo, wrote, “Very special man.”

This came after Trump spoke in a recent rally. During the rally, he said that he would pardon the people charged with criminal offenses in connection with the deadly January 6 attack on the US Capitol. But that is if he were to run for president and win in the 2024 elections. However, he hasn’t confirmed if he’ll run for president.

Abdelaziz has a good relationship with the former POTUS. They also took a group photo in 2020 along with Dana White, Henry Cejudo, Justin Gaethje, and Colby Covington. The former president gave a shout-out to everyone, including ‘great guy’ Ali Abdelaziz.

Kamaru Usman has proved that he is the best welterweight in the world. Since winning the title in 2019, he has defended it five times and looks unstoppable. ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ stands head and shoulders above the fighters in the division right now. His next opponent is expected to be Leon Edwards, according to Dana White.

However, his manager, Ali Abdelaziz, is very confident that Usman will beat Edwards and is more focused on a bigger fish. He wants him to beat ‘Rocky’ and then take on his African brother, Israel Adesanya. ‘The Last Stylebender‘ is the current UFC middleweight champion, and just like Usman, has dominated his division.

Usman, multiple times, has said that he won’t fight Adesanya. According to many, moving up a division should be the next step for the welterweight champion. But he doesn’t think so. He was even ready to skip Adesanya and try to challenge for the light heavyweight title. But that didn’t materialize.

But his manager believes that if the money is right, they will fight. In a recent interview, he said, “I want him to beat Leon Edwards, and I want him to go fight Israel Adesanya for the middleweight title. Bro, listen to me, I don’t think these guys, they cool, but I don’t think they are like best friends.”

“Listen, if there is enough money for both of them to fight, they will fight in the parking lot… These guys are not like they’re training partners, they’re brothers. They are African brothers and it holds a lot of value.”

A fight between these two will be an interesting one and will draw a lot of fans and viewers.
