‘I Don’t Support This Idea’- UFC Legend Khabib Nurmagomedov Not Happy With Hasbulla Magomedov Fight Rumours

Hasbulla Magomedov is a huge fan of combat sports and has been following it for a long time. Interestingly, Magomedov gained much popularity among the MMA community after his call-out videos for UFC fighters went viral on social media. Akin to Magomedov, his rival Abdu Rozik is also an internet sensation who hails from the same country.

The duo is often seen taking shots at each other on social media. They even had a brawl during their attendance at UFC 267. Ever since then, many fans have been speculating about a fight between Rozik and Magomedov. There were also rumors about the UFC president buying this fight. However, Khabib Nurmagomedov is against this fight.

In a recent interview with Red Corner MMA, ‘The Eagle‘ shared his disgust regarding it, saying, “Honestly, I don’t want to make this fight. I don’t like this idea. I don’t support this idea.”

“I don’t like these people they fight inside the cage, I don’t think this is a good idea. They both big names. They can create some good things. If they become friends, I think. I think like if I have a choice I’m gonna make them good friends.”

Hasbulla Magomedov Shuts the Fight Rumours

Hasbulla Magomedov attended UFC 267 in Abu Dhabi to support his long-time friend and lightweight fighter, Islam Makhachev. However, he got into a brawl with his rival Abdu Rozik after the event.

Following the UFC 267 event, a screenshot went viral, stating that Magomedov’s former partner Ashab Tamaev had sold his fight against Rozik to the UFC kingpin Dana White. However, the Russian internet sensation shut all these claims in his first-ever media appearance.

Magomedov said, “How could he do it? Is he my father or anything? Signed a contract with me to sell the fight? If, for example, I have something, I can give it to him, and then he sells it, but how can he sell my fight if it doesn’t even exist?”
