‘This is my chicken, named Conor McGregor. There’s my beauty’
Social media star Hasbulla Magomedov has aimed a dig at Conor McGregor by deciding to name his pet chicken after the UFC fighter.
Hasbulla – who has previously joked about fighting the Irishman – has spoken openly about wanting to be involved in a mega-money bout.
The Russian, often nicknamed ‘Mini Khabib’ – after Khabib Nurmagomedov – has trolled McGregor on a number of occasions in the past, and has now decided to call his chicken ‘Conor McGregor’.
In footage posted online, Hasbulla films his new pet, saying: “This is my chicken, named Conor McGregor. There’s my beauty.”

Hasbulla is good friends with Nurmagomedov, with the pair hailing from the same region of Russia. Understandably, then, he has thrown his support behind his fellow countryman in recent years.
Nurmagomedov is a big fan of Hasbulla and believes he is capable of earning “billions” in the future due to his role as a social media personality.
He previously told Red Corner MMA: “He has to go to the US, all the big sports stars know him there, he’s very popular.
“Maybe do some good charity things [together], they can become ambassadors for charity funds… but I don’t want to see this fight. We have enough fighting around the world. Peace is better than war.
“He has to move for a couple of years to the US and become a billionaire. Minimum he can become a millionaire,” Nurmagomedov added.
After McGregor lost to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264, where the Irishman suffered a devastating leg break, Hasbulla posted a screenshot of the injury, alongside several laughing emojis.
