UFC superstar Khabib Numagomedov‘s manager isn’t here for $2 million offers. The prized fighter’s frontman has responded to 50 Cent offering him a couple mil to join his Bellator organization.
In a new interview, Ali Abdelaziz did much more than shut down 50’s opportunity to leave the UFC.
As for 50 Cent, the rapper is now in business with the Bellator MMA promotion and has been trying to recruit Khabib over to the rival league. He recently made a $2 million offer to Khabib but Ali says it ain’t nearly enough. “For $2 million, [that won’t even] open a Coca-Cola bottle for Khabib. Khabib make a lot of money. We talk about $50 MILLION and up, we can talk. But $2 mil? This is garbage.” (TMZ)
Over the weekend, 50 Cent hyped up a potential opportunity to get Khabib to ditch the UFC.
This is getting super real! lol

I think it’s wrong what the UFC is doing to Khabib, they didn’t do the same thing to McGregor. I’ll pay 2 million cash tonight if he will fight for me at Bellator. pic.twitter.com/K7QYxR4IHI

Jackson’s offer followed Khabib’s recent publicized post-UFC 229 Conor McGregor brawl.
Nurmagomedov later responded to the post in the comment section with his trade “send me the location” before inviting Jackson to visit Dagestan. The $2 million Jackson is offering would match Nurmagomedov’s fight purse for UFC 229, which is currently being held by the Nevada State Athletic Commission while the continue their the investigation of the brawl. McGregor, on the other hand, received his full $3 million paycheck. (MMA Fighting)
Despite the major opportunity, reports claim it’s unlikely Khabib will part ways with the UFC.
Although the rapper may be putting a generous offer on the table, it’s ultimately likely a very meaningless one. Nurmagomedov is contractually obligated to the UFC and won’t be able to part ways with the company unless he’s released or opts to breach his contract, which is highly unlikely. (MMA Junkie)
