Ali Abdelaziz is the CEO of Dominance MMA and has several top UFC stars under him
Ali Abdelaziz might like to speak his mind a lot on social media, but the CEO of Dominance MMA certainly has the right UFC stars under his team.
The Egyptian is well-versed in a few martial arts too and has trained with some of the best in the world.
However, he now manages most of the top stars in the UFC and even those outside it. Abdelaziz has seen several of his stars pick up the gold too with Khabib Nurmagomedov possibly being the biggest star under him.
However, the others under him have done well too. Justin Gaethje won the interim Lightweight title while Henry Cejudo held both the Flyweight and Bantamweight titles before retiring from the UFC.
Abdelaziz listed out a huge list of UFC stars his fighters have beaten and that included Conor McGregor, Tony Ferguson, Tyron Woodley, Dustin Poirier and Jorge Masvidal.
In the last year and a half @Dominance_MMA have beaten Conor, Ferguson, Woodley 2x, Colby, Cruz, Dillashaw, Poirier, Masvidal, Demian Maia 2x- all these names great fighters. No disrespect but my team at the moment they are just a little bit better. We stay humble and work hard.

Kamaru Usman was the latest from his stable of top stars to win as he defeated Masvidal while defending his Welterweight title.
Not everything goes Abdelaziz’s way
While the Egyptian had a lot to celebrate in recent weeks, Kelvin Gastelum’s loss wasn’t something he expected.
Gastelum was defeated via a heel hook by Jack Hermansson, and this capped off a disappointing evening for Abdelaziz.
He tweeted supportive words for Gastelum, and it will be interesting to see what his next move will be.

However, Dominance MMA certainly has several of the best on their books. They have a huge roster of up and coming MMA stars who also fight in other promotions.
Abdelaziz has certainly been one of the best MMA managers in the history of the sport. And his stars are doing their bit inside the Octagon too.
