UFC's Ottman Azaitar saves manager Ali Abdelaziz from drowning on video | News, results, highlights, statistics and rumors

UFC star Ottman Azaitar recently rescued his manager from a scary situation.

Azaitar and his manager Ali Abdelaziz were recently swimming with others near a waterfall in Hawaii, and Abdelaziz began drowning in the fast-moving water. Azaitar then helped Abdelaziz to a place where he could stand before fetching a vine to pull him to shore.

The incident was captured on video and published by TMZ Sports:

According to TMZ Sports, Abdelaziz has recovered from the situation and is doing well.

“Ottman is a great boy. He has a big heart. He literally saved my life,” Abdelaziz said.

The trip to Hawaii came ahead of UFC 307 this weekend, where Kayla Harrison, represented by Abdelaziz, will take on Ketlen Vieira in the women's bantamweight division. Harrison, who has a career record of 17-1, has won two fights in a row, most recently at UFC 300 in April, and she will look for another win this Saturday.

Azaitar is not scheduled for UFC 307 and his last fight was in July 2023 when he lost to Francisco Prado. The 34-year-old has a record of 13-2 with 10 knockouts and has no fights scheduled this year.
