Conor McGregor responds to Hasbulla signing deal with UFC as feud continues

Conor McGregor has dragged former UFC champion Petr Yan into his row with Hasbulla by comparing the fighter with his fellow countryman.

Despite having yet to step in the octagon since last July after breaking his leg in defeat to Dustin Poirier, the Irishman has been extremely active on social media and launched an unprovoked attack on social media star Hasbulla last month. The pair traded verbal barbs with McGregor labelling the Russian, who suffers from growth hormone deficiency (GHD), a "smelly inbred" which lead to the three-feet-tall star calling for a fight with his rival.

Hasbulla is currently in Abu Dhabi alongside McGregor's bitter rival Khabib Nurmagomedov to support Islam Makhachev in his title challenge against Charles Oliveira tomorrow night at UFC 280. And former UFC champion Yan will also be in action when he takes on rising star Sean O'Malley on the undercard.
