Khabib
\nNurmagomedov<\/a> says Ali Abdelaziz incites strong feelings in
\npeople, one way or the other.<\/p>\n

While Nurmagomedov was managed by Abdelaziz throughout his
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a> career, their relationship
\nextends beyond fighter and manager. Abdelaziz manages all Dagestani
\nfighters from Nurmagomedov\u2019s camp and shares a strong personal
\nrelationship with everyone. Furthermore, the UFC Hall of Famer\u2019s
\nsuccessor, Islam
\nMakhachev<\/a>\u2019s favorite person to prank is the Dominance MMA
\nfounder.<\/p>\n

Nurmagomedov says getting to know Abdelaziz reveals the loyalty
\nhe values most<\/h2>\n

Nurmagomedov recently said that people inevitably have strong
\nfeelings about Abdelaziz, whether good or bad. According to \u201cThe
\nEagle,\u201d one can\u2019t feel neutral towards the veteran manager. He
\nbelieves people either strongly love Abdelaziz or hate him with
\nequal fervor.<\/p>\n

Nurmagomedov claims one needs to get to know Abdelaziz to
\nappreciate him and that he\u2019s incredibly loyal.<\/p>\n

\u201cAli has one unique quality: people either really love him or
\nreally hate him,\u201d Nurmagomedov told Lex Fridman. \u201cYou can\u2019t just be
\nneutral about him. No one will say about him, \u2018I know him; he\u2019s a
\ngood guy.\u2019 You\u2019ll have strong feelings for him. Either you hate
\nhim, or you really love him. And I\u2019m in that category of people who
\nare very fond of him. And I have a good relationship with him. I
\nknow his family, his children, his kids grew up before my eyes\u2026 You
\nneed to get to know him better to really appreciate him. And he
\nwill stand by you until the very end. And of course, there are
\npeople who have mixed feelings about him. But it\u2019s hard to feel
\nindifferent about him.\u201d<\/p>\n
