MMA manager Ali Abdelaziz has been facing backlash for his recent post on social media.
Abdelaziz posted a picture of himself with his recently deceased father and paid an emotional tribute to him. In the caption of the post, the MMA manager wrote:
“If there ever comes a day when we can’t be together, keep me in your heart. I’ll stay there forever. We belong to Allah and to Him we shall return." (via Google Translate).

But the post was met with harsh criticism from MMA fans on Twitter. Noah, Abdelaziz's alleged son, whom the MMA manager abandoned in Colorado, was mentioned several times in the comments section. Multiple people commented asking whether the kid in the picture was Noah.
"Noah looks happy, how is he?"
In the past, Abdelaziz worked as an undercover agent for the New York Police Department and the FBI. The FBI began to grow susupicious about him being a double agent.
There were several comments on social media who took a dig at Abdelaziz's allegedly checkered past.
One Twitter user mentioned a barrage of accusations against the 45-year-old and compared him to current heavyweight king Jon Jones.
"Suspicion of check fraud, terrorism activity, Counterfeit clothing, Marrying for VISA, abandoning his son, credit card fraud, Identity fraud, Snitching, Child marriage, setting up international terrorism cells. Ali makes Jones look like a saint."

Ali Abdelaziz has suggested a name for Leon Edwards' next title defense
MMA manager Ali Abdelaziz has a name in mind for current welterweight king Leon Edwards' next fight. According to the 45-year-old, his client and the number three UFC welterweight contender Belal Muhammad should be next in line for a shot at UFC gold against 'Rocky'. Abdelaziz believes that a fight between the two in Abu Dhabi would be a sensible move by the UFC.
"Let’s make Belal Muhammad vs León Edwards in Abu Dhabi, makes all the sense to me," wrote Ali Abdelaziz.
Muhammad is currently on an icredible run in the UFC. 'Remember the Name' is undefeated in his last 10 outings and he recently defeated Gilbert Burns via unanimous decision at UFC 288.
But despite the impressive resume, it seems like Muhammad will not be Edwards' next opponent. The reason being that UFC president Dana White, on multiple occasions, has stated that Colby Covington will be the fighter to face Edwards next for the title.
