Fight enthusiasts are pointing fingers at MMA manager Ali Abdelaziz, believing he has once again taken control of Magomed Ankalaev’s X (formerly Twitter) account to taunt Jiri Prochazka.
The recent UFC 327 event saw Prochazka suffer a Round 1 knockout at the hands of Carlos Ulberg in the main event. Many believe Prochazka’s own strategic choices, opting to engage in a striking battle with Ulberg instead of capitalizing on a hurt opponent, led to the loss of his light heavyweight title.
Following Prochazka’s defeat, a series of critical posts appeared on Ankalaev’s X account. One post read:
“Prochazka been knocked out three of his last six fights. I don’t wanna hear his name anymore in the title picture enough is enough.”
Another subsequent post from the account stated:
“Jiri Prochazka He kept kicking Carlos’s legs. He did not show him any mercy. Fake.”
A third message added:
“Jiri never talk about me again. You only can talk about me if you wanna fight none of these guys are my level congratulation, Carlos.”
However, many fans are convinced these sentiments do not originate from Ankalaev himself but rather from his manager, Abdelaziz. Online commentary reflects this suspicion, with one user stating:
“Shut the fu*k up, Ali, oh my god please, Big Ank would never say such a thing.”
Similar opinions were shared by others, such as:
“Ali pls stop. Ank would never say mean things.”
“Yo Ali shut up and stop speaking for Ank. We need bum to flatten Ulberg.”
“Imagine how dumb @AliAbdelaziz00 is. This was an opportunity for Ankalaev to win Jiri’s fans over. But there goes the opportunity, just like that. This dumba*s manager really is dumb and incompetent. His only way to make money is making sure his fighters have so many haters.”
These reactions suggest a strong belief among the fanbase that Abdelaziz is manipulating Ankalaev’s social media presence to generate animosity and controversy.
Fans Believe Ali Abdelaziz Is Using Magomed Ankalaev’s X Account to Troll Jiri Prochazka
MMA fans are speculating that manager Ali Abdelaziz has once again taken over Magomed Ankalaev’s X account to criticize Jiri Prochazka.
Following Prochazka’s first-round knockout loss to Carlos Ulberg at UFC 327, Ankalaev’s X account posted several critical remarks about the former light heavyweight champion. These included commentary on Prochazka’s knockout record, his perceived “fake” fighting style, and a demand for Prochazka to stop mentioning Ankalaev unless he intended to fight him.
The style and aggressive tone of these posts led many fans to believe they were not written by Ankalaev, but by his manager, Ali Abdelaziz. Numerous comments from fans expressed frustration with Abdelaziz, suggesting that he is using Ankalaev’s platform to create controversy and alienate potential fan bases.
Some fans felt this was a missed opportunity for Ankalaev to gain favor with Prochazka’s supporters, attributing the perceived trolling to Abdelaziz’s alleged incompetence and strategy of creating “haters” for his fighters.
