ONE Championship’s Cosmo Alexandre is ‘all taken care of’ after signing with Dominance, says Ali Abdelaziz
- Dominance MMA Management CEO says Cosmo has signed with him and finally agreed a new deal with ONE – ‘now there’s no problem’
- ‘Cosmo is an absolute killer,’ says Abdelaziz, ‘he makes people and promotions lose a lot of money on hospital bills’
Dominance MMA Management CEO Ali Abdelaziz has told SCMP MMA that Cosmo Alexandre has signed with him and settled his contract dispute with ONE Championship.
Alexandre had brought First Round Management on board after the highlight-reel win to help him negotiate a new deal and had a public falling out with the Singapore-based promotion on social media last month, calling on CEO Chatri Sityodtong to pay him more or release him.
“He’s good. Listen to me. Cosmo now is part of Dominance MMA Management. He’s all taken care of,” Abdelaziz said. “I just wanna say, thank you Chatri. Thank you ONE, for stepping up and making it right. Remember, we’re always as fighters as managers wanting more and sometimes we’re gonna get it, sometimes not. But right now they were very generous and they gave him what he wanted, and I’m very grateful.”
“Brother, there’s only one management in the world right now that represents the best fighters,” Abdelaziz said. “I’m not saying I’m better, but I am two things – I’m a problem solver, and I’m a kingmaker. If you wanna become a world champion, I’ll help you. But there’s many great managers out there too, it’s not just me. Me, I specialise in gold digging and collecting belts.”
