Marlon Moraes made quick work of Jimmie Rivera on Friday night, and it wasn’t long afterward that Moraes’ manager, Ali Abdelaziz, seemed to extend an olive branch to Rivera.

Rivera and Abdelaziz had beef heading into the UFC Fight Night 131, but it seemed like maybe that all went away with one tweet.

Nothing but respect for Jimmy Rivera and his family. Without a doubt one of the best fighters in the world. Keep your head up champ. You’ll be back stronger.

Only it didn’t.

After Moraes (21-5-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) knocked out Rivera in 33 seconds in the FS1-televised headliner from Adirondack Bank Center in Utica, N.Y., television cameras caught an encounter backstage between Rivera  (21-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC), his wife and someone who appeared to be Abdelaziz.

Rivera tried to downplay the situation during an interview with Laura Sanko on the FS1 post-fight show.

“It’s not really, there’s no tension between (Moraes) and I,” Rivera said. “There’s no tension with the camps. It’s just his management. His manager keeps running his mouth, and it is what it is. We let it go.”

In the build-up to the bantamweight shown, Rivera made it clear he had no issue with Moraes, who he’s trained with before. Rivera’s problem only was with Abdelaziz, which he explained to MMAjunkie Radio.

“It’s his manager who I (expletive) hate,” Rivera said in March. “His manager’s a douchebag, called my wife a (expletive) when we were in Las Vegas. I think a lot of the things he says and does are from his manager.”

Abdelaziz, for his part, denied ever calling Rivera’s wife a nasty name, saying it was directed at Rivera during their run-in in Las Vegas.

“I don’t respect him as a person, because I think he was doing everything he could not to fight Marlon,” Abdelaziz told MMAjunkie in March. “But at the end of the day, I got what Marlon wanted. Marlon wanted this fight, and the reason Marlon wanted this fight is Rivera is one of the best fighters in the world.

“If Jimmie Rivera has something to say to me, then he can say it to my face.”

It appears that’s what happened Friday night.
