Following the meeting with Trump, who maintains a close friendship with McGregor, Abdelaziz â Khabib Nurmagomedovâs agent â directly targeted the Irishman through a post shared on social media platform X.
âEveryone asked about you today at the White House, we missed you today,â the MMA manager wrote while tagging McGregor shortly after the event concluded.
The message was widely interpreted as an attempt to provoke âThe Notoriousâ, as he publicly expressed his desire to appear on the White House card in recent months.
Despite those ambitions, the former two-weight UFC champion failed to secure involvement in the event and is now expected to finally return to MMA competition later this year.
Abdelaziz and McGregor maintained a bitter feud for years, largely because of the managerâs close relationship with the Irishmanâs biggest rival, Khabib.

Abdelaziz also generated strong reactions online because of the speech he delivered while hailing Trump and the upcoming UFC Freedom 250 event.
He said: âLike Justin said, it was all President Trump, probably the UFC would be 20 years behind [without him]. He gave us the jumpstart from the beginning and I think this is going to be the greatest sports event ever created on planet Earth.
âItâs going to be the most watched sports event, and what an honor to fight on the ground, red, white and blue. You know, Justin is the only American, but itâs an honor coming from France, Spain, Brazil, that is the American dream. All of us live the American dream.
âItâs an honor to be in the Oval Office and itâs an honor to have a president that actually welcome the people. Most presidents are just too good to do other things to other people, but this is the greatest president of all time, in any country, in any world, at any time, and I thank you, President Trump.â
