While Dana White is shaking his head at the exchanges between Khbib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor the two aren’t slowing down. And the latest zingers come from Ali Abdelaziz.
To remind you here’s what transpired between the two:
Irish fighter once again appears to have crossed the line – this time posting and promptly deleting the following:
Of course towel head is a slur – A derogatory term for one of Middle Eastern descent. It comes from their custom of wearing a turban.
“I don’t think he’s finished,” Nurmagomedov said. He added, “Conor acts like a jealous wife who says ‘I will leave’ all the time but then comes back.”
Khabib’s manager was first to react:
Talking shit, this guy is insulting someone’s wife and making fun of her religion and belief. He doesn’t realize he’s insulting 1.5 billon Muslims. Religion and family is a no no. You’re fucked Connor, let’s see what the media is going to say now. He’s a rapist, and a bitch.

Since then Khabib has also fired back tweeting a graphic image of McGregor seemingly cheating on his longtime partner Dee Devlin:
Rapist, you are Rapist.
You are a hypocrite who is not responsible for your actions. Justice will find you.

Here’s what Abdelaziz had to say on the matter:
“I talked a lot of sh-t to Conor, Khabib talked a bit of sh-t. Conor went in different directions,” Abdelaziz told TMZ Sports (transcript by BJPenn.com). “I’m telling you something, you’re going to get yourself f—ked up, your whole team f—ked up, your security f—ked up. Get your sh-t together before you get everybody f—ked up.
“We don’t promote violence, we are promoting peace,” he added. “Enough with the hate. You want to talk about Khabib’s self, he’s ugly, whatever, this is your opinion. Don’t talk about his f—king wife and his nation and his religion.
“Believe me, if you put Conor and Khabib in the streets to fight to the death, there will be no Conor. Conor will be disappeared.”
