Conor McGregor challenges Hasbulla to UFC sparring match and sets out rules

Conor McGregor wants to fight Hasbulla in a UFC sparring session with "big gloves" as the pair continue to feud online.

McGregor hasn't fought in the octagon since breaking his leg in a defeat to Dustin Poirier last year, but has frequently been trading verbal barbs with rivals online including social media star Hasbulla. The Russian star rose to fame on social media and suffers with growth hormone deficiency (GHD), but is known for being good friends with the Irishman's bitter rival Khabib Nurmagomedov.
