Umar Nurmagomedov has worked with famous MMA manager Ali Abdelaziz for many years. Abdelaziz works with some of the most high-profile fighters in the world, and several of the Nurmagomedov-clan.
But the MMA manager has been accused of controlling the social media accounts of the clients who cannot speak English very well.
Fans appear to think that one such incident recently took place with the X account of 'Young Eagle' after he was captured responding to a post while talking in the third-person.
The post featured an image of Merab Dvalishvili, the man Nurmagomedov is desperately trying to schedule a fight with, as he holds the bantamweight title.

The Dagestani contender, or potentially Abdelaziz, took to X and wrote:
"Umar can beat him, that's why he's avoiding him."
"Sometimes people talk about themselves in the third person."

Fans had a field day with what they perceived to be an error from Abdelaziz, as one fan wrote:
"They thirsty for a title shot."
While other fans wrote:
"It's so embarrasing"
"I saw this earlier and it killed me hahaha. Especially when you consider how much effort they put in to making people believe this isn't the case."

Merab Dvalishvili and Umar Nurmagomedov have gone back and forth several times online over a potential fight. 'Young Eagle' is certain he deserves the next bantamweight title shot, with Dvalishvili the current holder of the belt.
But 'The Machine' is equally as certain that Nurmagomedov has not done enough to earn a title shot against him, and instead is eager to face Petr Yan.
The frustration from both sides has become clearer as the weeks pass, and following Nurmagomedov's recent hiccup with his X account, Dvalishvili has shared his thoughts on the matter.
He took to X and wrote:
"What kind of man are you??!!! You let your manager speak bulls**t for you on X?"
