Everyone's favorite FBI-informant-turned-fighter-manager-turned-matchmaker might be the undoing of WSOF:

quote:


The promotion is tangled up in a hornets nest of an investigation currently being conducted by the Nevada State Athletic Commission involving, among other things, WSOF’s mass systematic cover-up of the incestuous dual-role of former vice president and matchmaker Ali Abdel Aziz, who concurrently acted as a manager of fighters he matched for WSOF. Depending on the findings of the NAC, the promotion could find its license suspended until the mess gets sorted out and Abdel Aziz could be banned from managing fighters in any state run by an Association of Boxing Commissions member commission.

As far Abdel Aziz’s his stable of 40+ fighters go, they too could face potential punishment if the NAC determines that any of them lied about who they were represented by on their license applications in an attempt to deceive the commission.

It's kind of a throwaway sentence in there, but since Aziz admits he bets on fighters he both manages and matchmakes for, there may be an investigation into fight fixing as well.

E: There's also a part where he put his fighter management firm in his wife's name to avoid scrutiny despite admitting repeatedly on air that he handles negotiations for all his fighters. But he's also never filled out a Nevada fight manager's license form, because he's a convicted felon & owes about $40k in back child support payments, both grounds for denial.

more fun quotes:

quote:

“Your client must understand the position he is in. He purports to be a vice president and matchmaker for World Series of Fighting (WSOF). He has contacted Bellator fighters in the past on behalf of WSOF — a matter which was discussed with prior council for WSOF. He cannot divorce himself from WSOF simply by saying he is not acting on behalf of them. The fact of the matter is that he is a representative of a competing MMA promotion and that he suggested to Mr. Caplan that Mr. Hawn somehow had the right to renegotiate his contract with Bellator. That is in our view interference. In point of fact, it matters not whether Mr. Abdel Aziz styles himself as a manager or advisor,” wrote English. “We were in fact informed that Mr. Abdel Aziz was assuming a manager role with Mr. Hawn. However styled, it is inappropriate interference by someone affiliated with a rival promotion. That interference is not the non-issue you alleged. It was in fact Rick Hawn, who sent a text to Sam Caplan which in part stated, ‘I just want to let you know that Ali is my new manager.'”

There are so many lovely layers to this that I don't think we can call it incompetence by WSOF. They had to have known something was up, even if it was only part of it.

Is tonight the greatest moment in Dominick Cruz's life?

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.

Chael is good.

I hope he beats everybody Bellator has to offer. And then he fails a drug test, but only after clearing out the Bellator roster.

Tito looked terrible against Bonnar and even terrible-er against McGeary, and that was over a year ago. Who knows what Chael is going to look like on whatever steroid regimen he can get away with under Bellator's current "testing". I can't imagine having a strong opinion about who is gonna beat who based on what we actually know about this match.
