It seemed like the problem with Khabib's crew had more to do with Abdelaziz.
"“I will say right here and now, what Ali did to me in the last two years was pretty damn crappy. Trying to hurt me, trying to cut off the guys. Despite all of that, I would shake his hand if he walked in here right now and bury the hatchet. There is no hatchet to bury. He made a deal to try to hurt me, let’s just call it what it is."
“And by the way, [he] used the phone number that I gave him to try to get me fired from my last job… Despite all of that, I would still say bygones be bygones, I would shake your hand and have you here and any of your fighters here.”
“A lot of them reach out to me. There is no hate here. There is nothing they can say. There is not a single skeleton in my closet.”
Having work in corporate America and having my share experience of snakes, Ariel fits that profile a T. You have to look behind the actual message to decipher Ariel. On the surface, you get the safe message of "I'm not a trouble maker. I'm actually be victim, but I'll be happy to let bygones be bygones and work with anyone". He's a portrays himself as a peaceful, loving diplomat. But think about it. What kind of a man that let others to smear his image publicly again and again while being ok with it? That kind of person doesn't either doesn't have principles or willing to willing to trade them for personal gains.
And he’s a master of using words. Look at his quotes. His underlying message is always that he’s nice team player. So if you don’t go along with him, you will look the jerk. “Come on my show and talk with me. We’re in this together”.
