One of the most prominent managers in sport was not happy after his hunter was not financially rewarded for his performance.
After having managed many others as Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev, Ali Abdelaziz played a major role in the career of some of the best hunters in the history of sport.
Although Abdelaziz has been involved in some of the greatest fighting in the history of sport, and some that did not happen, he also managed many hunters who have had slow climbs to the top.
We have seen that lately with people like Magomed Ankalaev and Movsar Evloev, who are both his hunters, because they produce long profit stripes before they finally get what they deserve.
Abdelaziz understands the entertainment aspect of the sport, but this eventually made him incredibly frustrated when one of his hunters received no recognition from the UFC to answer some of his critics.
Ali Abdelaziz claims that he 'raised hell' after Kamaru Usman had produced his first peak in the UFC
Kamaru Usman immediately hit the land in the UFC and started to put together the basis of what one of the longest winning stripes in the history of the promotion would be.
'The Nigerian nightmare' achieved victories, but he also did not precisely cast the roof of the building, which hurt his momentum.
While he would go back to dominating opponents to win on the score cards, Usman showed what he was able to enter when he entered the Octagon on September 16, 2017.
In the first round, the wrestling specialist maintained the fight and exploded a huge right hand that crumbled Sergio Moraes to the Canvas.
Unfortunately for Usman, 8 out of 10 battles via finish ended this night, with Uriah Hall and Mike Perry who earn the performance of the night bonuses for their own One-Shot Knockouts.
During a recent appearance on the poundcast of Pound 4 Pound about the need of Movsar Evloev to make people notice him to earn a title shot, Ali Abdelaziz thought after Usman Pittsburgh without a bonus.
“This is the problem with Movsar, he has no highlights. Kamaru was in this position. Kamaru was in this position [until] He spent Sergio Moraes in Brazil, gave him 360, did not even get a $ 50,000 [bonus]. I was brought up hell and then Kamaru finally had a highlight. That was the [moment] From Like, “Okay, Kamaru is good.” “
Kamaru Usman admitted that he would be stuck by his own early UFC fights
Ali Abdelaziz believes that what the UFC has won at Kamaru Usman, who is a big fan, is when he was able to sit in front of them 'the Nigerian nightmare'.
Even Usman himself admitted on the podcast that when he looked back on his early fights in the UFC, he would skip through it, making him realized that he had to produce more highlights.
“You just have to self-reflect and be honest with yourself, because even myself got into a rhythm. I think I was 4-0 in the UFC and every fight, I had at least one 10-8 round … but I look back and I am just the fight to see the fight, because I just look at all the time.
Movsar Evloev went to the UFC 9-0 and has to finish another opponent, but in his return on July 26 a victory over Aaron Pico would give him a title shot, regardless of how he gets his hand.
