Khamzat Chimaev has been frustrated by many UFC stars since they are avoiding him and Ali Abdelaziz served a warning to them
MMA agent and manager Ali Abdelaziz might be the best at what he does. The Egyptian has some of the biggest MMA stars as his clients and most of them are near the top of their divisions.
Another star in the making, Khamzat Chimaev, has been talked about highly by Abdelaziz in recent months.
Chimaev is undefeated in his MMA career and has nine wins in his short career. The 26-year-old also has won all three of his UFC fights via stoppages and has achieved all this in the span of 66 days.
However, many stars are avoiding the Swede and Daniel Cormier recently explained why. The fear of losing to an unranked star might be a concern to some of the top stars, however, Abdelaziz had a warning for all those who were avoiding him:
Advice for all the guys turning down @KChimaev fight him now before he gets better he’s only fighting MMA for three years

Khamzat making the moves
It really is astonishing that Chimaev has only been properly fighting in the MMA circuit for three years.
He is seen as the next big thing by Dana White and talks have been held for Borz to main event a card soon.
However, the problem lies with the fact that not many are keen to face him. Chimaev has called out several stars starting from Demian Maia to Israel Adesanya.
The Swede earlier stated that he had accepted fights against Stephen Thompson and Chris Weidman but the two ranked UFC stars declined the clash.
The 26-year-old recently spoke with the Schmo and claimed he just wanted to get into the Octagon again.
He is expected to headline an event in December and it will be interesting to see how it goes. For all those avoiding him now, Chimaev could get better in the years to come.
He has at least a decade of top action left and the scary part is, he will only improve with more fights under his belt.
