The Nurmagomedovs and Conor McGregor have had a never-ending feud, and Ali Abdelaziz, who manages most of the Dagestanis has always defended them, especially on social media. Recently, Abdelaziz slammed McGregor post-Paul Hughes' loss, for a tweet from 'The Notorious' in which the Irishman had some strong words about Usman Nurmagomedov and his teammates.
Recently, Irishman Hughes faced Bellator lightweight king Usman Nurmagomedov at PFL Dubai. After an entertaining five-rounder, the judges scored in favor of the champion.
The Dagestani was ahead on the judges' scorecard, even though many believed 'Big News' had done enough to win the bout with his immaculate striking.
Post-fight, Hughes’ countryman McGregor tweeted praising 'Big News' and claiming that he "dominated that fight." 'The Notorious' also took a dig at Usman, calling him a "scurrying fighter."

The 36-year-old Irish fighter tweeted:
"Tremendous fight and performance! Easy win for Hughes, he DOMINATED THAT FIGHT. And Umar exactly what it says on the tin, a Nurmagamedov. Runner, sprinter, bolter, scarper, scurrying “fighter”. The Nurmagomedovs are not fighters."
He continued:
"They are the most non fighting fighters out of Dagestan and all time. Run away around the cage and shoot a** bi*ches. Dagestan is better than the Nurmagomedovs and that is a FACT!"
The criticism caught the attention of Abdelaziz, who has always had bad blood with the Irishman. He put McGregor on blast, commenting:
"You are a drunk dr*g addict. Should not talk about anyone real Irishman embarrassed of you."

Earlier this month, 'The Eagle' also took a dig at Irish MMA. Hughes, on the other hand, has silenced his detractors with his outstanding performance against Usman last night.
Conor McGregor wants to fight Jeremy Stephens
Jeremy Stephens recently knocked out Eddie Alvarez in the main event of BKFC KnuckleMania V. After his victory, Stephens faced off against Conor McGregor, which hinted at reigniting their decade-old feud (that stayed off the cage).
'The Notorious,' who now expressed his desire to fight 'Lil' Heathen' in a bare-knuckle fight, said after the latter's win:
"Who the f*** is this guy? Let's make a date, let's set a date. Who's gonna stop me, man to man? No one's gonna stop me. Dave make the date, let's do it. I'm down for it, bro."
