Hasbulla Magomedov has come under fire this week after a video of the internet personality abusing his cat went viral.

Magomedov is a social media influencer who currently resides in Dagestan, Russia. The teenager initially rose to fame back in 2020 during the COVID-19 lockdowns as he uploaded videos of his shenanigans in his home country. He has now amassed a following of over eight million across his social media accounts.

In the video, which some readers may find distressing, Hasbulla is at his home with his cat. The 20-year-old is then seen chasing the animal before pulling its ears and slapping it across the face.

Watch the video here:

Many celebrities have been calling out the 20-year-old for the video, which now includes WWE superstar Alexa Bliss. The former women's champion responded to to the video of the abuse and bluntly asserted that it is "not okay."

"@DailyLoud This is not ok."

Bliss isn't the only sports personality to have called out the behavior either. UFC lightweight Dan Hooker also had some strong words for the Dagestani personality.

'The Hangman' took to Twitter and stated that he'd been waiting for Magomedov to be canceled:

"Been waiting, let's cancel this bullsh*t c*nt."

When Henry Cejudo wanted to 'fight' Hasbulla Nurmagomedov

Last year, Hasbulla secured a lucrative marketing deal with the UFC after he met with Dana White in Abu Dhabi.

Nicknamed 'Mini Khabib' due to his close friendship with Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev, the 20-year-old has since appeared cageside and backstage at a host of UFC events.

Amongst those events was UFC 280, which saw Makhachev capture the vacant lightweight title against Charles Oliveira in the main event. The 20-year-old was later filmed backstage, where he was play fighting with former UFC double champ Henry Cejudo.

'Triple C' was filming a video for his YouTube channel and included footage of the pair fake sparring with one another. Cejudo later tweeted the video and joked that he is waiting for the UFC to hand them both a contract so they can square off:

"WARNING: GRAPHC CONTENT. Here's footage of @Hasbulla_NFT blatantly assaulting me. I won't press charges as long as he SIGNS THE DAMN CONTRACT. It's time to settle this once and for all. I'M COMING FOR YOU!!"
