Ali Abdelaziz is not a big fan of Conor McGregor, and the pair have always bad-mouthed each other. At UFC 229 in 2018, when 'Notorious' was set to fight Khabib Nurmagomedov, he explained why he called Abdelaziz a "terrorist" during the press conference:
"You should never take information from an informant. You should keep distance from the informant at all times and that's putting it for the media. That's the friendly way of putting it. His [Nurmagomedov's] manager is a f***ing snitch terrorist rat and that's it. I could go into heavy detail, and I will... He was pulled off a flight going from Cairo, Egypt to New York City on September 11, 2001."
McGregor went on to explain how Ali Abdelaziz was caught with five passports and told on the people he was working with to get his freedom. McGregor also stated how he was surprised Abdelaziz was granted entry into the country when even his family had visa issues while trying to enter the United States.

Conor McGregor backs Ariel Helwani after interview with former training partner Dillon Danis
Ariel Helwani recently interviewed Dillon Danis for his show The MMA Hour. During the show, Helwani asked Conor McGregor's former training partner a lot of uncomfortable questions that fans wanted answers to. He also indulged in roasting Danis a number of times and clips of the interview have gone viral on social media.
In a recent tweet, a fan stated that Helwani took an "L" (loss) and Danis a "W" (win) after the interview. McGregor replied to the tweet by saying:
"No way, I rock with Ariel also! I always stay up on his content. I’m sure we’ll catch up in the near future also!"
Although Conor McGregor did not condemn either Ariel Helwani or Dillon Danis, he stated that the interview will not affect his relationship with the journalist and that he looks forward to working with him.
