Ali Abdelaziz, the former manager of ex-UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, reminisces about the Russian fighter’s clash against Irish UFC star Conor McGregor. 

«It’s been six years since Conor surrendered his soul to Khabib. Khabib took everything from him, even his manhood. Since that fight, McGregor hasn't been the same and will never be. I believe every time Conor looks in the mirror, he remembers that Dagestani guy who wears a papakha. Khabib destroyed him,» Abdelaziz told MMA Fighting.

To recall, Nurmagomedov defeated McGregor at UFC 229 on October 6, 2018. The fight concluded with a submission in the fourth round, marking the Russian's first title defense in the league.
