"In reality, f--k him. i don't really care about him. Listen, he's easy money. I hope he's healthy. He can come back and fight [Justin] Gaethje, Islam [Makhachev], Beniel [Dariush] and he's an easy payday for everybody. He's become, like I said, he's a prostitute. Guys use him right now for hype. Because he's easy money. He cannot beat anybody in the top 10 or the top 15. He cannot compete with these guys anymore, he cannot," Ali Abdelaziz said.

Speaking to John Morgan, MMA personality Ali Abdelaziz put Conor McGregor on blast, calling him an 'evil person' and saying the 32-year-old was surrounded by yes-men.
"At the end of the day, if you become the captain of your own ship, If you become the boss of your own training, he's his own manager, his own trainer, he's the head coach, everything. When you have a whole bunch of yes-people around you, you know, he's not evolving his game. At the end of the day, good always defeats evil and he's an evil human being."
Conor McGregor has now lost two fights in a row for the first time in his professional MMA career. Both of the Irishman's losses came against Dustin Poirier, who defeated 'The Notorious' at UFC 257 and UFC 264.
This has led many people to believe that McGregor's best days are behind him.
