Hasbulla Magomedov went from being an internet sensation to a contracted UFC employee. The 20-year-old rose to fame from his prank videos on TikTok and Instagram.

Megan Anderson on meeting Khabib Nurmagomedov

On The Megan Anderson Show in 2020, former UFC featherweight title challenger Megan Anderson recollected her experience of meeting Khabib Nurmagomedov. Anderson recalled being at a WSOF event in 2016, cornering teammate Bobby Cooper. Cooper’s opponent trained under ‘The Eagle’ who was present in the opposite corner.

She mentioned how the former lightweight champion ignored her when the corners were exchanging handshakes following the fight. Anderson mentioned how after they announced the winner, she went up to Nurmagomedov and grabbed his hand, and shook it.

She summed up Nurmagomedov’s reaction by saying, “He looked at me like I had done the worst thing that I could ever do on the face of the earth.”

The Australian fighter said she thought Nurmagomedov really did not like her. However, she later learned that Nurmagomedov was Muslim and abstained from shaking her hand out of respect. Anderson said she left like a horrible person for doing that.
