Ali Abdelaziz issued a veiled threat to YouTuber The MMA Guru, an English streamer who provides commentary on MMA and (mainly) UFC content. Current bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling shared a post via a page called Art of Striking, which showcased The MMA Guru thrashing his teammate Merab Dvalishvili.
Replying to Sterling's tweet, the Dominance MMA CEO posted a tweet that seemed like a veiled threat to the aforementioned MMA YouTuber. Here's what Ali Abdel Aziz said:
"I would love to meet this guy [and] give him some gift."

Here's what The MMA Guru said, that got Aljamain Sterling and Ali Abdelaziz so worked up:
"So, he [Merab Dvalishvili] won't fight Aljo whatsoever, because he's a c*ck. And he wants Aljo to have his own success while he is the bodyguard of the division. It's absolutely crazy to see, we've never seen anything like that before because - normally men have peni*es, [it's] a normal big thing that men have in the MMA world, especially in the UFC.
"High testosterone men, you think they're at least maybe a little bit above average, who knows? But, Merab doesn't have one so therefore, there's no point in him having his own life. So he lives his life vicariously through Aljamain Sterling, even though, very easily - he could become a champion and beat Aljamain Sterling."
Ali Abdelaziz isn't the first man to get riled up by The MMA Guru
Ali Abdelaziz likes to flex his opinions and go after people on social media, especially in response to people critiquing him or his roster of fighters. Sometimes, he may chime in even if it doesn't involve him or any of his fighters, like the aforementioned veiled threat to the MMA YouTuber.
Saying things like he 'would like to meet this guy and give him some gift' can be read as a desire for violence on the part of Abdelaziz towards the YouTuber. What Abdelaziz doesn't know is that many fighters have had feuds with The MMA Guru. Sean O'Malley, Dan Hardy and Aljamain Sterling are just a few names that the YouTuber has gone after.
It'd be wise for Ali Abdelaziz to be steer-clear from interacting any further with the YouTuber, as picking on an acclaimed YouTuber with millions of followers isn't a good look for the Dominance MMA CEO. Abdelaziz doesn't need legions of MMA Guru fans hounding him, should he do or say something extreme.
The MMA Guru has a penchant for getting under the skin of fighters and members of the MMA community, owing to his brash and snarky style of commentary. When Islam Makhachev beat Charles Oliveira at UFC 280, the YouTuber repeatedly called the 'Dagestani' fighter an 'inbred' live on stream.
