Hasbulla punches Alex Pereira at UFC 298

Alex Pereira is the latest UFC star to feel the power of Hasbulla’s right hand.

After making a name for himself in a series of hilarious videos on YouTube — often parodying UFC Hall of Famer Khabib Nurmagomedov — Hasbulla has become known in the MMA community for his sneak attacks on fighters both past and present. He’s engaged with combat sports legends like Mike Tyson and Antonio Nogueira as well as more modern stars like Daniel Cormier, Islam Makhachev, and Henry Cejudo. You can now add Alex Pereira to the list.

In a video clip shared by Jason Williams on X, ‘Poatan’ was posing for a photo op with Hasbulla when the pint-sized influencer threw one of his signature blows at the reigning UFC light heavyweight champion.

In town for Saturday night’s UFC 298 card in Anaheim, Alex Pereira currently sits as the king of 205 following a stellar second-round knockout of former champion Jiri Prochazka at UFC 295 in November. In just seven fights with the promotion, Pereira has already claimed two different title belts — middleweight and light heavyweight.

Poatan’ is expected to return later this year for a showdown with another former titleholder, Jamahal Hill. However, rumors have been circulating that Pereira could feature at UFC 300 on April 13. UFC CEO Dana White is expected to officially announce the landmark event’s headliner following Saturday’s pay-per-view at the Honda Center.

Hasbulla Magomedov punches Daniel Cormier takes him down ahead of UFC 294

Continuing in his vein of picking a fight with current or ex-UFC stars, organizational ambassador and social media star, Hasbulla Magomedov switched his attention to color-commentator and former two-weight champion, Daniel Cormier, punching the Hall of Famer and attempting a single-leg takedown on him. 

Hasbulla, an official brand ambassador for the UFC, has been a vocal staple of the entourage of incoming UFC 294 headliner, Islam Makhachev prior to the Russian’s title victory over Charles Oliveira at UFC 280 this time last year, and returned to Abu Dhabi for this week’s fesitvities.

Appearing at the official pre-fight press conference, the 20-year-old Russian remained coy when asked for his prediction on the main event featuring friend, Makhachev, and incumbent featherweight champion, pound-for-pound kingpin, Alexander Volkanovski.

Making his way into the Octagon as part of Makhachev’s team last year at the Etihad Arena, Magomedov was lofted into the air by both former champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov, and Makhachev, following the latter’s title win and second round submission win over the above-mentioned, Oliveira.

Last year to boot, Hasbulla and Cormier shared some camera time in Abu Dhabi, with the former punching the color-commentator in the face. And a year on, some things never change, with Cormier once more the victim of the 20-year-old’s wrath, this time also forced to defend a single-leg takedown attempt. 

Sure to have a vested interest in the night’s headliner, Hasbulla is also expected to feature Octagon-side for a much-anticipated co-main event between undefeated welterweight finisher, Khamzat Chimaev, and former divisional champion and former pound-for-pound king, Kamaru Usman – who clash at the middleweight limit.

Hasbulla, who rose to fame ahead of a long-awaited fight with fellow influencer and singer, Adu Rozik, signed an ambassadorial contract with the Dana White-led UFC back in October of last year before the promotion’s UFC 280 pay-per-view event in Abu Dhabi, UAE. 

A friend of the likes of current undisputed lightweight champion, Islam Makhachev, as well as former division titleholder, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Hasbulla Magomedov also featured in the corner of Makhachev during the Makhackala native’s second round triangle choke submission win over Charles Oliveira in October of last year.

Hasbulla Magomedov once more becomes the topic of numerous headlines

However, the social media standout landed in hot water this week in his native Dagestan, after wedding celebrations resulted in his arrest and detainment alongside numerous friends of his after violating traffic laws in the country.

“Police in Dagestan arrested him and some of his friends for violating traffic laws,” MVD Dagestan reported. “According to Dagestan’s Internal Affairs, Hasbulla and others drove out into the street and were interfering with other drivers. The entourage was arrested and charged with administrative violations. As Hasbulla and his crew claimed, ‘They were celebrating a friend’s wedding.’” (H/T Red Corner MMA)

Hasbulla Magomedov was recently pictured behind the scenes at a Power Slap League event at the UFC Apex facility in Las Vegas, Nevada alongside UFC president, Dana White as well as award-winning actor, and UFC shareholder, Mark Walhberg – with the latter inviting Hasbulla to slap him in the face, following numerous instances of the social media star slapping various celebrities. 

Earlier this annum to boot, Hasbulla was criticized across social media and accused of animal abuse, after footage emerged of him slapping and punching his pet cat, Bersik, in the head and ordering her to her crate – to which he defended, claiming he had just “scolded her” for “disobeying” him.

Hasbulla

Internet sensation Hasbulla came under fire after a viral video made the rounds showing the pint-sized star abusing his pet cat.

People online quickly called for the Russian to be canceled while others came to his aid, suggesting that the clip was blown out of proportion. Appearing on his YouTube channel, No. 2 ranked bantamweight contender Sean O’Malley advised critics that they need to take Hasbulla’s disability into account, suggesting that it is just as much mental as it is physical.

“Well, we gotta remember he’s disabled. Or handicapped. He’s got a disability. We gotta remember. We look at him like a 20-year-old little person. He definitely has a disability,” O’Malley said.

Sean O’Malley’s Coach Tim Welch Was Told Two Different Things Regarding Hasbulla’s Disability

Hasbulla, 20, suffers from Growth Hormone Deficiency, otherwise known as Dwarfism. The condition does not have any type of intellectual effects, but O’Malley’s coach Tim Welch revealed that he had been told two different things regarding Hasbulla’s handicap from people that supposedly knew him well.

“In Dubai, they told us two different things. One person said he’s got the mind of a third-grader. The other person said no, he’s got a normal mind. Two people that knew him,” Welch revealed.

“But it is f*cked up. Hopefully, someone told him, ‘Hey, don’t beat on your f*cking cat.’ You can clearly see this cat is scared of you. Do not beat on it. If that cat was a little bigger, it would probably eat him. Seriously.”

In September, Hasbulla announced that he had signed a five-year contract with the promotion after making an appearance at UFC 267 the year prior. Many fans hoped the contract meant they would finally get to see Hasbulla break out his ‘Mini Khabib’ persona to take on rival Abdu Rozik inside the Octagon. For now, he’ll essentially operate as a mascot for the billion-dollar business, attending events, making media appearances, and selling merchandise to help further line the pockets of UFC president Dana White.

“I wish someone would do that to him,” O’Malley said in response to Hasbulla’s controversial cat video.

Hasbulla defends abuse of cat she disobeyed so I scolded her

Social media sensation Hasbulla speaks up after an attempted cancellation following a video Habulla posted where he had pulled his cat’s ear.

If there’s anything we’ve learned about cancel culture thus far, it’s that they won’t hesitate to rid you off the internet, regardless of who the person may be.

In this case, a barrage of people online decided that their target would be the non-English speaking russian superstar with a whopping 8.3 million followers.

As allegations of animal abuse arose, Magomedov has come out and assured his fans that he was simply disciplining his cat for disobeying him.

Hasbulla is typically regarded as an avid cat lover, and he declared the recent ‘disciplining’ video as an excuse from his haters to criticize him.

“I know that people are waiting for the moment if I write something wrong, just to attack me like this,” Magomedov said.

Although there may be a new wave of people shaming Hasbulla, his loyal followers have also come to his defence to support him.

The miniature phenom stated that there are very few things he loves more than cats.

“I love my cat more than you, if I didn’t love the cat, I wouldn’t have it at home. My the most lovely animal is a cat.”

Habulla will look to put this in his past as he continues to dominate the internet and collaborate with major influencers.

His Russian link up with the Nelk Boys generated 10 million views on YouTube, and their recent entourage in America has racked up 6.6 million views in three days.

Magomedov is also an avid UFC supporter as he originates from the Russian town Makhachkala, a place where many UFC fighters have grown, including Hasbulla’s long time friend and now UFC lightweight champion, Islam Makhachev.

Hasbulla recently signed a deal with the UFC which includes his own merch to be sold on the UFC store, and he has also been included in the video game, UFC 4.

Whether or not his haters choose to forgive him, Hasbulla’s loyal followers will continue to support him.

A user on social media, who identified the cat as Barsik, called for the feline to be taken away from the 20-year-old Russian influencer.

“This is the infamous Barsik, Hasbulla’s cat. He has stated that he loves this animal. Imagine what he would do if he hated Barsik? Abusing animals is the worst. We need to come together as a team and rescue Barsik from the evil and tiny hands of Hasbulla. #FreeBarsik.”
