Hasbulla Magomedov Signs Five-Years Contract With UFC

According to reports, social media sensation Hasbulla Magomedov has signed a five-year contract with the UFC.

The 19-year-old Dagestani viral sensation, also known as “Mini Khabi,” has become known for his widely shared video content centered around combat sports and his daily life, amassing 3.2 million followers on Instagram alone.

According to MMA insider Igor Lazorin, Hasbulla will not be fighting in the Octagon but will be attending events and delivering content on social media related to the organization.

It appears the UFC aims to tap into the social media star’s place in combat sports circles after Hasbulla met UFC President Dana White at UFC 267 in Abu Dhabi last October.

A post by Lazorin reads, “This is a blast from the face. Hasbulla signed a five-year contract with UFC! So far in the plan – attending tournaments, media activity. We will not talk about the amounts in detail, but there they are such that many fighters do not get that much.”

The Russian star’s popularity picked up steam when he called out the likes of McGregor and Khabib on his various social media platforms, while also dropping a series of side-splitting pre-fight press conferences against arch-rival Abdu Rozik.

Hasbulla Magomedov was born and grew up in Makhachkala, Dagestan. He took to social media during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and began posting content to Instagram and TikTok where his notability grew dramatically.
