Ali Abdelaziz Reveals Why President Donald Trump Is The ‘Biggest Khabib Nurmagomedov Fan’
Ali Abdelaziz recently revealed why the President of the United States loves Khabib Nurmagomedov ‘so much.’
Former UFC lightweight champ Nurmagomedov is one of the greatest fighters ever to step into the octagon. With over 44 million followers on Instagram, he is the second most-followed MMA star on the planet (only a couple of million behind Conor McGregor).
The Russian’s work ethic, humility, and fierce competence are among the attributes that make him so loved. And it looks like Trump is a huge admirer of him as well.
In a recent appearance on the Pound 4 Pound Show with Kamaru Usman and Henry Cejudo, Nurmagomedov’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz, shed light on why the POTUS likes the Russian so much:
He is the biggest Khabib [Nurmagomedov] fan. I was like, ‘Why you like him so much?’ He said, ‘I put him in my book.’
Abdelaziz had also earlier revealed that UFC lightweight champion Justin Gaethje is another fighter Trump loves. He said:
The way I saw the President of United States spoke to Justin Gaethje, I was bugging the hell out. He admires this man, he respect this man.
