Dillon Danis condemns Khabib Nurmagomedov with one-word tweet over alleged DM, Ali Abdelaziz fires back
Dillon Danis recently reacted to Khabib Nurmagomedov allegedly sliding into a woman's DMs on social media. The former Bellator welterweight slammed the UFC icon with a bold one-word response, which led to MMA manager Ali Abdelaziz firing back in defense of his superstar client.
For context, a female Instagram user recently alleged that Nurmagomedov reacted to one of her Instagram Stories by dropping a fire emoji. She posted screenshots of her alleged interaction with the former UFC lightweight champion, which began gaining public attention on social media.
Given the long-running feud between Nurmagomedov and Danis, it's no surprise that the 'El Jefe' shared his reaction to the screenshots of the alleged social media interaction. The former Bellator star took a shot at Nurmagomedov's commitment to his religious faith and shared the screenshot with the caption:
"Haram."
Soon after, Abdelaziz took to the post's comments section to respond and sent Danis a cold message. The MMA manager wrote:
"You don’t learn your lesson. I see you soon."
When Khabib Nurmagomedov explained attacking Dillon Danis during infamous UFC 229 post-fight brawl
Khabib Nurmagomedov faced Conor McGregor in a fiery grudge match at UFC 229 in Oct. 2018. While 'The Eagle' submitted the Irishman in the fourth round and won the fight, the win wasn't enough for him and he proceeded to jump out of the cage and attack his rival's teammate, Dillon Danis.
For context, McGregor and Danis had attempted to get under Nurmagomedov's skin during the build-up. The former Bellator star seemingly continued insulting Nurmagomedov during the fight, which ultimately led to 'The Eagle' jumping out of the cage to attack him in the crowd.
During an interview with Submission Radio, Nurmagomedov explained his thought process during the incident and revealed that he picked Danis to pounce on due to McGregor's other coaches being too old. He said:
"No, I didn’t hear [Danis], you know. I jump on him because other corner is too old... Because he is almost like my age. If I jumped on Kavanagh, I don’t think… Kavanagh can’t fight me. That’s why I jumped on [Danis]... But I don’t like his whole team but if I had a choice, what I’m gonna do, but all other coaches were too old for me. They cannot fight me, you know. They’re almost like my father’s age. That’s why I jumped on [Danis].”
