Ultimately, however, Abdelaziz said matters would be decided by Khabib’s father and trainer Abdulmanap, whom he called “the boss.”
“I’m not the boss. [Khabib’s] not the boss. His father’s the boss, and whatever his father wants, that’s what’s going to happen,” Abdelaziz told MMA Junkie.
“Khabib has no say so. I have no say so. His father has the say.
“If his father wakes up in the morning and says, ‘Boys get it together, we’re fighting Conor,’ we’re fighting Conor.”
Abdulmanap, who was recently hospitalized with suspected pneumonia in Dagestan but is believed to be recovering, said in January that UFC bosses would need to stump up $100 million for his son to face McGregor again.
Let’s hope his father eventually gives the greenlight.
This fight needs to happen again.
