Henry Cejudo Hasbulla Magomedov

Former UFC double-champ Henry “Triple-C” Cejudo is still one of the most entertaining personalities in all of the MMA community, even though he is still technically retired from the UFC. But that hasn’t stopped him from trash-talking one of the biggest names on social media today in Hasbulla Magomedov.

Magomedov plays a fictional MMA fighter and is one of the biggest stars on the streaming platform “TikTok” and has been nicknamed the “Mini Khabib” after the former UFC lightweight champion. The 18-year-old Russian blogger has child-like characteristics because of his height, face, and voice.

Magomedov recently posted a skit in which he references a possible fight with Cejudo, and the former UFC champion fired back and replied in a fiesty manner, and took the time to poke fun at UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling in the process.

“I must admit @hasbulla.magomedov is a good actor,” Cejudo said. “All those lessons from @funkmastermma are paying off. #bendtheknee.”

Cejudo retired from the UFC following his win over the former bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz at UFC 249. He has one of the most accomplished combat sports careers in history which includes a 2008 Olympic gold medal in wrestling, a two-time UFC champion, and one of the most popular names in the community.

Despite retiring last year, Cejudo has been hinting at a possible comeback to the UFC which includes title shots at bantamweight and featherweight. He has had his fair share of back-and-forths with Sterling and the current UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski.

Magomedov has accumulated 1.6 million followers on Instagram and is believed to be suffering from dwarfism, which is a genetic disorder that results in child-like features and appearances.

While it’s unclear as to whether or not Cejudo will return to the UFC octagon, he continues to keep his name in the spotlight; and in the current times in which pop stars are boxing basketball players and YouTubers are making millions in the boxing ring, anything is possible between Cejudo and Magomedov.

The Russian Athletic Association for dwarfs has voiced their displeasure toward the social media interest in a potential fight between social media star, Hasbullah Magomedov and Abdu Rozik — labeling the potential fight as “unethical“.

The potential fight, which is expected to be organized by professional mixed martial artist, Asxab Tameav, is currently yet to be nailed down, however, footage of a face-off between Magomedov and Rozik circulated through social media over the last number of days, gaining sizeable exposure.

Magomedov, who is commonly known as ‘Little Khabib’ — in reference to former UFC lightweight champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov, has gained social media exposure over the last couple of weeks, however, the head of Russia’s Dwarf Athletic Association, Uliana Podpalnaya has called the potential mixed martial arts fight between Magomedov and Rozik “unethical” during a recent interview with Gazeta.ru as per RT Sport.

“It’s not even like a show fight — they (Magomedov and Rozik) get paid a lot of money and it’s a show to make people laugh,” Podpalyana said. “There’s nothing serious about this, this isn’t sport. This is unethical, wrong, from my point of view. It seems to be that only on the one hand it can be correct and beautiful — if martial arts among small people are made a Paralympic sport.“

“It could be Judo, Karate, and people will understand that this is a serious sport, serious performances, and not some kind of laughing show,” Podpalyana explained. “Events like this don’t draw attention to the sport of little people. If interest in this appears, it’s only business a lot of money is being invested in it. And from the point of view of the sports career growth of these guys, there are no prospects.“

Magomedov, 18, has gained fame as a star on the social media network, Tik Tok — where he had gained popularity and views for impersonating the above-mentioned, fellow Dagestan native, Nurmagomedov, whom he has been pictured with in the past on his social media. 

Both Magoemdov and Rozik suffer from a growth disorder in which their disease makes them appear younger than they actually are, as well as their dwarfism. 

Earlier this afternoon, the aforementioned, Tamaev posted a series of video clips on his official Instagram account, that has 4.3 million followers, which show Magomedov super-imposed into various scenarios, such as a goalkeeper saving a penalty, and as two-time UFC welterweight title challenger, Jorge Masvidal during his five-second flying knee knockout win over Ben Askren. Throughout the comment section, many users have reacted with laughing face emojis to the post and video content.
