Don’t mess with Hasbulla, lads
Most people know not to touch people who make a living from fighting – others have to learn the hard way.
One young fan got the lesson of a lifetime after pinching Hasbulla Magomedov’s cheeks.
The Russian internet sensation, 19, has a genetic condition that stunts his growth. He recently announced that he had signed a deal to fight in the UFC, and has, in the past, called out people like Conor McGregor, with the Irishman saying he’s keen to spar with the teenager.

Now, some people may not know all this history and may just consider him a meme, or they are willing to test their luck
In a video shared on social media, Hasbulla can be seen posing for photos with a huge crowd of fans.
However, one young fan then comes out of nowhere and squeezes his cheek – something which didn’t go down well with Hasbulla.
Taken aback by what had just happened, Hasbulla snaps at the lad, saying: “Hey! No!”
Giving a stern look at the fan, Hasbulla wags his finger angrily at the young lad.
The social media star has reportedly signed a five-year deal with the UFC said to be “worth more than many fighters”.
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…”
The Ultimate Fighting Championship has yet to comment on or confirm the deal.
Hasbulla, who hails from Dagestan, has made some famous friends with combat sports in recent years, including the likes of former UFC Lightweight Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov – who he calls his brother. Hasbulla also goes by the nickname ‘Mini Khabib’ in reference to the fighter.
He’s also built up quite a relationship with McGregor, of a different kind.
Earlier this month McGregor made headlines with a series of offensive tweets about Hasbulla, which have since been deleted.
Hey uncle @danawhite and @ufc please make it happen, let me eat this chicken @TheNotoriousMMA Im hungry, I’ll smash him with my mountain spirit. My brother @TeamKhabib smashed him and all his team, now is my time to rise!👊🏽 #HasbullaTime #CantDeleteMyTweetsConor pic.twitter.com/VdISS3U1Qm

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.
He asked UFC President Dana White to make a fight happened between the two, “make it happen, let me eat this chicken” – referring to McGregor.
“I’m hungry, I’ll smash him with my mountain spirit,” the teenager added before goading McGregor further: “My brother Khabib smashed him and all his team, now is my time to rise!”
He ended the response with the hashtags “#HasbullaTime” and “#CantDeleteMyTweetsConor”.
Hasbulla earlier taunted McGregor by naming a chicken after him.
