Ali Abdelaziz has once again been called out on his use of his clients social media accounts, this time by Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone.
Cerrone caught up with Abdelaziz (who manages the likes of Frankie Edgar, Khabib Nurmagemedov and Rafael dos Anjos) backstage in Las Vegas and questioned him on who had been sending out tweets from Khabibs account calling for Cerrone to sign a fight contract to face him. Things escalated quickly between the pair on twitter which you can see in the exchange below;

Cerrone then bumped into Khabib’s manager this week in Las Vegas and as you can see from the video below was a little dubious as to exactly who is behind the fighters social media account;

And in his defence, Cerrone has every right to question it given Abdelaziz’s history with running his clients accounts which we saw back in December when he mistakenly responded to a tweet from his account which he had intended to send from Frankie Edgars.
