Hasbulla has signed a contract with UFC and confirms his first fight

His rival is yet to respond

Hasbulla Magomedov has officially signed a contract with the UFC. Rumours have been flying around that the social media sensation, who lives with a form of dwarfism, had signed on to a deal with the MMA promotion. But now it is officially confirmed that the 19-year-old will fight in the UFC. “The rumors are true,” the 3’4” social media star wrote on Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/p/CjqQHZUKEOo/ “I have officially signed a deal to fight in the UFC! Details will be revealed by the end of the year. Thank you to UFC, Dana White, Khabib Nurmagomedov and everyone who helped make this dream become a reality. All my fans will be able to buy a Hasbulla fight kit soon on UFC.com and hasbulla.com.” Longtime rival Abdu Rozik has yet to respond. The three-foot-four tall Russian, who hails from the mountainous Dagestan region near Georgia, added that fans will be able to 'buy a Hasbulla fight kit soon'. He become one of the biggest names on social media, with 3.2 million followers on Instagram and over 2 billion views on TikTok, and hasn't left the headlines in recent weeks thanks to a long-running spat with Conor McGregor. Combat sports journalist Igor Lazorin broke the news on Instagram, uploading a picture of him and Hasbulla, along with the caption: "Hasbulla signed a five year contract with UFC! So far in the plan – attending tournaments, media activity. "We will not talk about the amounts in detail, but there they are such that many fighters do not get that much. Hasbulla signed 5 year contract with UFC! No fights yet, but…” Earlier this year McGregor made headlines with a series of offensive tweets about Hasbulla, which have since been deleted. He wrote: "I’d love to boot that little g**p Hasbulla over a goal post. How much to get him on the volley? "I’m gonna make it my mission to score a 3 pointer with him one day, hon the gaa." He also called Hasbull a "little smelly inbred", but it was the influencer who had the last laugh. Related links:
