LAS VEGAS – WSOF matchmaker Ali Abdelaziz says he understands how his words may have been a bit misunderstood, but his sentiment remains the same: If you want to succeed in his promotion, don’t turn down fights. “If you’re a top guy at World Series of Fighting, and I’m trying to put on an entertaining fight for the fans and for the company and you tell me no, what am I supposed to do?” Abdelaziz asked MMAjunkie. “I feel like I’m paying you money to fight, and so if you’re healthy and in a good state of mind, you shouldn’t tell me no. Your job is to fight.” Earlier today, Abdelaziz told MMAFighting.com that “ Enough is enough ,” and that “I’m getting sick of this. If a fighter is not going to respect the promotion, he is going to be shelved for a long time. I will not release anyone to another promotion.
