Fans lambasted MMA manager Ali Abdelaziz as he extended his support to Donald Trump following the recent attack. Abdelaziz has been accused of being involved in terror activities. Most notably, Conor McGregor accused him of being a 'terrorist snitch' during the UFC 229 press conference and fans seem to harbor similar feelings.
On July 13, Trump was shot at during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. While he was safely taken off the stage after a gunshot was heard, the 78-year-old former president seemed to have blood on his face. He is now receiving medical treatment while the suspect and one other person are reported dead.
Prominent members of the MMA community voiced their support for Trump, including UFC CEO Dana White. Abdelaziz took to X and implied that the Pennsylvania incident was the latest in a series of attempts to derail Trump's presidential campaign while praising him as "a fighter."

"They tried to cancel Trump, they can’t. They try to put him in jail, they can’t. Now they try to kill him. Trump 2024. Done deal. This is what America needs. A Fighter."

But the attempt to align with Trump backfired on the MMA manager as fans criticized him for his alleged involvement in the 9/11 attack.
According to the information available on the internet, Abdelaziz was jailed in the early 2000s for forging legal documents. Reports claim that he was recruited as an informant by the New York Police Department and later, the FBI. Agencies are claimed to have ended their association with Abdelaziz over suspicion of being a double agent.
The details of this chapter in Abdelaziz's life are documented in the books titled 'Enemies Within' and 'Twilight in America'. Recently, the 'terrorist' accusations picked up momentum once again as Russian authorities raided Khabib Nurmagomedov's gym in Dagestan after a recent terrorist attack. Khabib is one of the most prominent fighters managed by Abdelaziz.
