Dillon Danis and Ali Abdelaziz go back-and-forth over the former posting seemingly fake DM of Khabib Nurmagomedov
Khabib Nurmagomedov was discussed on X recently in what created a heated exchange between Ali Abdelaziz and Dillon Danis. The former Bellator MMA fighter shared an image that looked to be pretty obviously photoshopped that intimated Khabib directly messaged what looked to be an Instagram model with a fire emoji reacting to one of her pictures.
The image that was simply captioned 'Haram' caught the attention of many including someone who has long been associated with the former UFC lightweight champion.
Abdelaziz manages many top fighters through Dominance MMA and Nurmagomedov has been one of his more prominent names with the two having close ties that go beyond their business interactions it seems. By way of his X account @aliabdelaziz00, Abdelaziz responded to this seemingly manufactured image by stating:
"You don't learn your lesson. I see you soon."
Danis retweeted the post, saying:
"Gonna have some friends highjack some more planes and fly them into my apartment?"

Khabib Nurmagomedov and his online feud with Tony Ferguson
Khabib Nurmagomedov was caught in the middle of this Dillon Danis vs. Ali Abdelaziz beef but is dealing with his own online discourse with a combatant he had multiple booked fights against fallout.
Tony Ferguson versus Nurmagomedov will always be one of the biggest what-ifs in mixed martial arts history with everything from freak last-minute injuries to a global pandemic derailing the plans the MMA gods had for these two fighting.
Recently in his trademark eccentric manner, Ferguson posted another address to Khabib on Instagram which was laden with expletives and references to past bookings between them falling out.
Ferguson was firing off at a statement he thought Nurmagomedov made about how the former lightweight champion supposedly stated that the only chance Ferguson had to beat him was to land a lucky shot.
Nurmagomedov responded via his personal X account by clarifying that he did not state this and commented about how many people will just go online, make wild claims, and then state that he said these things.
The Dagestan native also told Ferguson to enjoy his life and enjoy his family, as well as to leave the sport to the younger fighters.
After their last fight booking fell out, Ferguson would begin a historic losing streak inside the UFC while Nurmagomedov would retire as the undisputed lightweight champion with a spotless professional MMA record. In the Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Tony Ferguson saga, it seems like the former has put the rivalry behind him whereas the latter still seems preoccupied by it.
