Hasbulla stars in UFC promo

Hasbulla has dismissed a potential bout with his rival Abdu Rozik amid links that the UFC could stage a meeting between the rivals.

The TikTok star suffers from a rare type of dwarfism and has been branded the ‘Mini Khabib’ in the name of close friend Khabib Nurmagomedov.

With links inside the UFC, the emerging star has continued to draw interest around the world as his rivalry with Rozik continues to rumble on.

However, he has cast doubts over the contest with his bitter rival Rozik due to the expenses that could be involved in addition to his own plans.

“Yes some people want to organise it but they won’t be able to,” Hasbulla said during his first media scrum. “Because it is too expensive and not too many people will be able to pay for it.

“And I don’t want the fight at the moment, no we haven’t discussed it and Dana White didn’t discuss it. Abdu Rozik he is a bum and he is a singer. This fight doesn’t make sense.”

UFC president Dana White has developed a relationship with the star since his emergence on social media.

Hasbulla was ringside during UFC 267 watching Islam Makhachev continues his lightweight charge with victory over Dan Hooker.

And he was involved in an altercation with Rozik who was also watching the event with the tension rising further between the pair.

An illustrious meeting between the pair has actually been discussed by the pair’s representations with Chechen promoter Ashab Tamaev even claiming he had touted the event to the UFC.

White has admitted his own fondness for Hasbulla especially after the increase to his social media presence following an exchange with the star.

UFC legend Chael Sonnen has even admitted that he was duped into thinking Hasbulla was ranked by the promotion after his recent exploits.

“In his [Rafael Fiziev] moment in front of a sold-out arena. On a platform, on a microphone, he calls out Hasbulla,” Sonnen said on his YouTube channel.

“I don’t know what a Hasbulla is when Fiziev says it. But, I was excited, I was excited to go into the rankings and look up who Hasbulla is because I just became a Fiziev fan.

“I want to see Fiziev’s next fight. He was screaming into the camera, Fiziev’s got these muscles, he’s got these muscles and this intensity in his eyes.

“It was one of the great callouts and then I find that Hasbulla is a child, that it was a joke. Now, I’m p*****!”

Hasbulla even found himself subject to a bizarre call-out from professional star Rafael Fiziev, who is on a surging run in the lightweight division.

But the UFC jumped on to the hype themselves by producing a mock promo for the event as Hasbulla’s profile continues to rise.
