Ali Abdelaziz Dismisses Trash Talk
ESPN’s Ariel Helwani was able to meet up with Abdelaziz to get his take on the “Notorious” one’s words. Abdelaziz insisted that he doesn’t take things personal:
“Listen, I don’t care. He can call me anything, I don’t give a f*ck because at the end of the day a real man can say this in front of me. With 100 security officers and police officers, he can say whatever the f*ck he wants. For me, it doesn’t offend me one f*cking bit because at the end of the day he’s not fighting me he’s fighting Khabib. Like I said, I’m not the most buttoned up dude. I don’t speak proper, but I serve my guys.”
