Got into America by pretending to be an Olympian and met Greg Jackson, who let him stay on his couch. He made a bunch of money after 9/11 by being a terrorist informant for the NYPD, according to that book, but the FBI figured he was lying because he couldn't pass a polygraph and never actually told them anything useful so they kicked him out of the program. now he's a sometimes manager of Frankie Edgar, Khabib, Dos Anjos and Werdum. Long time defender of palhares. He's the best

Eat Bum Zen posted:who is this guy? like, what's his significance? He was an executive at WSOF while being a manager of fighters in the WSOF, but didn't see a conflict of interest until they shitcanned him. Before that, He was an informant for the FBI against Muslims In America, but was shitcanned for passing bogus reports to his handlers and possibly being a double agent. Choice quotes: quote:In September 2001, just days after 9/11 a young Egyptian national was arrested trying to sneak into the United States via Colorado using a falsified passport. quote:For starters, Abdel-Aziz never competed at the Olympics in 1996 like he claimed. In fact, he had never competed at any Olympics at all. He used the lie as a cover to explain to authorities why he was flying into the location of a Muslim sect with extremist ties with a forged document and an imaginary identity. quote:Abdel Aziz was officially let go from his role as FBI informant soon after failing a polygraph test administered by the at bureau headquarters in NYC on April 4, 2008. The test was called after agents in the field suspected Abdel Aziz was acting as a double agent. His stories didn’t seem to add up and some of the intel he was giving them turned out to be bogus. Results from that test indicated he was deceiving investigators about his sharing of sensitive information about his top-secret eight-year operation as an embedded Muslims of America operative with someone back in Egypt. It's a great read, he's a pathological liar. But he's also a B-league manager and this belongs in the relevant thread. I mistakenly inferred he was hopping on the Jones bandwagon to sue the USADA on his behalf or something.

Sharzak posted:Yeah. Part of me thinks Kavanaghs bulletproof 100% gameplan that he's been talking up so much is just to do this rather than set up that right uppercut like he was working so hard for in their first fight. I think committing hard to counterpunching and playing the patient game rather than believing your hands have literal magic powers can win Mcgregor this fight. It absolutely can.

Work Friend Keven posted:What's that? The year of Keven continues unabated? Ladies and gentlemen... They tried to stop him in the ring, and they couldn't. So the cops, the law makers, the pencil pushers, the small minded control freaks of the world, they tried to stop him with red tape and paper. And guess what. They couldn't stop him either. The pound for pound greatest fighter in the world, Jon Jones, is an innocent man. Yeah.

manyak posted:In terms of "would improved cardio actually help Conor" i think if he magically had cardio as good as Diaz's he would very easily win the fight, but in terms of the amount of cardio/conditioning he can gain in a couple months, it will probably help him a little bit but it remains to be seen if its enough to win the fight Instead I think conor will just throw more dumb kicks in a shorter timespan and gas at exactly the same time 4 minutes in

The coolest part about this fight that has come out so far is that there are probably a good amount of people getting paid more for being in Conor's $300k designer fight camp than they would for a fight. A true Robin Hood for the Artem's and Ido's of the world.

Andy Dufresne posted:Some guy on Reddit said supplement companies keep batches of intentionally contaminated supplements on hand for issues like this. At first it sounded like something Joe rogan would say but tbh it's pretty brilliant. i doubt a company would ever do anything like that. unless the athlete in question owned it. in which case the truth would quickly become obvious anyway

I think he 'can', but all the prior evidence says that it's not very likely, that's all.

pulling this completely out of my rear end but i wonder if the diaz brothers' historical problems with wrestlers is because the kind of long slow distance cardio they excel at is more directly applicable to their fighting style compared to the explosive push/pull stuff :hmm:

I don't think there's been a dude to win a decision against Nate that didn't, at some prolonged point in the fight, grapple the hell out of him. I'm fully expecting Conor to hit like 50 scoop slams in round 5.
