Khabib's Manager Ali Abdelaziz to Conor McGregor: 'Payback Is a B---h'

Conor McGregor will have to wait for a title shot if he is to fight again after announcing his retirement last weekend, and Khabib Nurmagomedov's manager is loving it.

Ali Abdelaziz, who represents Khabib, Justin Gaethje and other top fighters, discussed McGregor's current status with TMZ Sports.

"Right now, he's on punishment for his bad behavior," Abdelaziz said. "Right now, he needs to sit down. Go fight Tony Ferguson, stay busy, stay active. Go fight [Jorge] Masvidal. Stay active, I want to see activity. Remember, he used to say that to all of us.
