Khabib Nurmagomedov s manager calls out Conor McGregor for being trash while addressing Oliveira Makhachev buildup

Khabib Nurmagomedov's long-time teammate and protege will face at UFC 280 for the vacant lightweight belt. Amidst rising friction between the two camps, firm words have been exchanged by both sides. Nurmagomedov and Makhachev's manager, Ali Abdelaziz, addressed the comments from his client on Brazilian channel Canal Encarada. "People have to understand this. We love Brazil. Khabib [Nurmagomedov] loves Brazil. We like Charles Oliveira. He's a great guy. But right now, when he signed the contract, he's the enemy. And Islam [Makhachev] is his enemy." Abdelaziz then referenced his client's fight against Conor McGregor as an example they do not wish to follow due to the unsportsmanlike conduct throughout. "But in the battlefield, you respect your enemy. You have to have rules, you have to have honorable. There's no bad blood. Whatever happens after this fight, we will shake hands and congratulate each other, 100%. I think Charles Oliveira is not a bad person. He is not like Conor McGregor - trash. We come from humble beginning [like Oliveira]. We understand the struggle." [] Watch Abdelaziz's full interview on YouTube below: Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Thank You!
