There’s a growing belief among MMA fans that manager Ali Abdelaziz is once again behind the wheel of Magomed Ankalaev’s X account, specifically to target Jiri Prochazka.
This past weekend at UFC 327, Prochazka suffered a first-round knockout loss to Carlos Ulberg in the main event. Many observers felt Prochazka squandered his opportunity for the light heavyweight title due to a tactical error: choosing to engage in a striking battle with Ulberg when his opponent was clearly hurt and a finish was within reach.
Following Prochazka’s defeat, Ankalaev posted several critical messages about the former champion on X.
“Prochazka has been knocked out in three of his last six fights. I don’t want to hear his name in the title picture anymore, enough is enough.”
In another post, the Russian fighter commented:
“Jiri Prochazka kept kicking Carlos’s legs. He didn’t show him any mercy. Fake.”
He further added:
“Jiri, never talk about me again. You can only talk about me if you want to fight. None of these guys are on my level. Congratulations, Carlos.”
However, many fight fans are convinced that these statements were not authored by Ankalaev himself, but rather by his manager, Abdelaziz.
One netizen expressed this sentiment:
“Shut the fu*k up, Ali, oh my god, please. Big Ank would never say such a thing.”
Similar opinions were shared by others:
“Ali, please stop. Ank would never say mean things.”
“Yo Ali, shut up and stop speaking for Ank. We need the bum to flatten Ulberg.”
“Imagine how dumb @AliAbdelaziz00 is. This was an opportunity for Ankalaev to win Jiri’s fans over. But that opportunity is gone, just like that. This dumbass manager is truly dumb and incompetent. His only way to make money is by ensuring his fighters have a lot of haters.”
Here are some of the reactions from fans:
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 dumbass manager really is dumb and incompetent.
His only way to make money is making sure his fighters have so many haters.

@AliAbdelaziz00 You fucking retard, why are you tweeting against Jiri on Ank’s account. This was your one opportunity to get Ank in good graces with the fanbase.
