In an interview with TMZ Sports, Ali Abdelaziz took a snap at Conor McGregor’s physique and said, “He looks like a blew-out balloon. He is a bodybuilder. That’s what I think. He is getting no love from us.”

Ali Abdelaziz further took a dig at Conor McGregor for lying in his recent interview (for Mac Life Official). The Irishman had said that his last training camp for UFC 229 was “horrendous” and he has already made the corrections. Speaking on that, Ali Abdelaziz said, “Listen, his coaches before the fight (UFC 229) said, ‘He's ready, he’s gonna knock Khaabib out inside three rounds, he’s never been in better shape.’ And after that, they said they had a horrible camp, his food was like a balloon. They are liars.”
