Internet sensation Hasbulla Magomedov has made a place for himself in every UFC fan’s heart with his appearance at UFC 267.
The 19-year-old Hasbulla may look small because of his ‘Growth Hormone Deficiency’, but he has made it big on the World stage.
At UFC 267, Hasbulla shared the stage with his friends Islam Makhachev, Khabib Nurmagomedov and met with stars like Daniel Cormier among more.

One such meeting was with UFC President Dana White. The duo took photographs together, and it’s safe to say that President Dana White has taken quite a liking to the ‘kid.’
In a recent interview with Robbie Fox of Barstool Sports, White revealed what he thinks of Hasbulla and his future plans for the prospect.
White said, “I love the kid. Yeah, I wanna get him out here to the states… maybe have him do a round with media.” The joyful reporter then told White that he’d be willing to fly to Las Vegas if White brings Hasbulla around.
To which, White replied “Deal.”
We have seen Dana White shun many ideas that do not appeal to him. However, if the President says he’ll bring Hasbulla over, it’s practical to assume that we’ll be getting to see more of him.
Who knows? He might even set up a bout for Hasbulla and his arch-nemesis Abdu Rozik in the UFC.
It’ll be fun to see Hasbulla gracing the UFC stage with other fighters again. He might bring his friend and UFC legend Khabib Nurmagomedov to accompany him for the trip as well.
Why is Hasbulla Magomedov so famous?
Hasbulla started out by creating videos of him fighting with children for fun, of course. But he really became popular when he culminated his rivalry with fellow internet personality Abdu Rozik.

Abdu Rozik is a Tajikistani singer who also has the same Growth Deficiency Syndrome that gives him a childlike appearance. The duo even started a scuffle at UFC 267 witnessed by several UFC officials.
Magomedov, an MMA aficionado, is a big fan of former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov. His fans also call him ‘Mini Khabib’ for this gesture.
