Islam Makhachev has some strong defense against Alexander Volkanovski. Especially with ‘mini-Khabib’ Hasbulla on his side. Volkanovski and Hasbulla Magomedov have done fun little segments before to entertain the audience. This time around, the Dagestani star took it all a little too far with his power.
In the latest video, the two had a little make-believe brawl again and it didn’t look good for ‘The Great’. Volkanovski’s video with Magomedov went viral and fans couldn’t help but be in splits. However, the hate was also real for Hasbulla as some fans asked Volkanovski to take him down. Here’s the whole story.

Hasbulla is out of house arrest and all ready to rage against Volkanovski. In the new video, Volkanovski can be seen recalling their earlier meeting when the influencer smashed a burger in Volkanovski’s face. So, the last time they met, Hasbulla came out on top.
“You’s all seen that though right?” Volkanovski says into the camera. “Burger in the face, chilli in the eye that literally was burning me. Next time I’m saying, I’m gonna fix him up. I’m gonna tell him I’m gonna fix him up.”
Just as ‘The Great’ finishes speaking, the door opens and Hasbulla Magomedov walks in. The so-called boss-music plays as the two prepare for their funny little skit. Soon, the Dagestani Marvel pulls Volkanovski off his chair and starts beating him up.

The funny video was shared by the UFC’s own X handle. While some fans laughed it out, others couldn’t stand the pretend rivalry between the two. As Volkanovski prepares to take down Magomedov’s teammate, Islam Makhachev, will his fans accept this make-believe aggression?

Some were seriously not on board with the silly little segment.
“Hey Volk thanks for taking this fight on 12 days notice and saving the card. Mind if you have the most annoying micro celebrity bash you for a segment?”

Others wanted the two to actually take it to the Octagon.

On the other hand, some were even worried that ‘Volk’ could get seriously injured from the little fight.
This won't be so "amusing" if Volkanovski gets a cut from rubbing up against the chair leg… 😬
