Several fans online insisted that Ali Abdelaziz, the manager of Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev, played a part in the cageside scuffle involving Dillon Danis. Their assumption felt natural given the long and messy history between Danis and Abdelaziz’s circle.For a few hours, the storyline took on a life of its own as people speculated that the feud had flared up again. A fan took to X and wrote:"I'm hearing from a friend who was cage side tonight, a row from them when this happened. It started cause Dillon pressed Ali and apparently smacked him. All of Ali's fighters then jumped Dillon. As annoying as Dillion is, Ali should stop talking sh*t to fighters if he can't handle his own and has to have people in to save him."Will Harris, the documentary filmmaker behind the series Anatomy of a Fighter clarified on X that Abdelaziz was nowhere near the scuffle:"Ali was in the back and nowhere near this lol."Check out the X post below:The misunderstanding came from the long trail of past confrontations that ties Danis to fighters managed by Abdelaziz. Their friction reaches back to the post-fight chaos at UFC 229 and later resurfaced in smaller incidents, including a backstage clash at UFC 268.With that history, many assumed UFC 322 was another direct chapter in their personal dispute. However, the actual scuffle played out differently.The brawl began before the main card at Madison Square Garden when Danis got into a heated exchange with members of Islam Makhachev’s team. Abubakar Nurmagomedov and Magomed Zaynukov were part of the group involved, and the situation escalated quickly as security rushed in and removed Danis from the arena.He was later detained and given a permanent ban from attending future UFC events.Islam Makhachev's coach reveals why Dillon Danis was jumped at UFC 322The UFC 322 melee left fans scrambling for answers after Dillon Danis was swarmed by members of Islam Makhachev’s team and removed from Madison Square Garden.According to Javier Mendez, the confrontation began after Danis taunted the group with offensive material that mocked their faith. Danis had positioned himself near the team in the fighter section. Speaking in a recent interview with Submission Radio, Mendez said:“He was sitting in the fighter’s section and sitting where Team Khabib was to boot... Then they showed me videos of what he was showing, he was showing Ali [Abdelaziz] and Islam in a relationship-type embrace. Then he was doing things with a po*nstar and Islam embracing. And then he’s talking crap on other things. What do you expect when you do that? You go and sit with the guys, and you’re riling them up with big, huge disrespect. Stop picking on people’s religion, man. That’s what he was doing, he was making fun of it.”
