Internet star Hasbulla landed a 'punch' on Belal Muhammad as the pair met in Abu Dhabi ahead of the UFC contender's upcoming fight.
The 19-year-old, who has growth hormone deficiency (GHD), rose to fame after taking part a mock press conference with his bitter rival Abdu Rozik, who also has a similar genetic condition. Videos of Hasbulla have amassed over five-billion views on TikTok as the Russian has become a celebrity for his pranks and stunts which have amused fans around the world. He is also a big MMA fan, having close relationships with UFC legend Khabib Nurmagomedov and his protege Islam Makhachev.
Hasbulla and Muhammad bumped into each other in Dubai as the American prepares for his fight with Sean Brady at UFC 280 later this month, with Hasbulla expected to attend the event in support of Makhachev. Muhammad posed for a picture with Hasbulla and like the internet star has done to several other past and present UFC fighters, he punched him on the chin as Muhammad pretended to be hurt from the blow.
