Dana White jokes that Conor McGregor will get his "a** whooped" if he runs into Hasbulla; confirms UFC signing of the social media star - "What he's going to end up doing, remains to be seen"

UFC President Dana White recently weighed in on Conor McGregor's feud with Hasbulla Magomedov. White first confirmed that they have signed the internet sensation into the UFC. However, the UFC president did not divulge any other details regarding the exact role that Magomedov will play in the promotion. The 53-year-old said on the My Mom's Basement with Robbie Fox podcast:

"Yes, we did sign Hasbulla. And what he's going to end up doing, remains to be seen."

White also revealed that he has not been contacted by Conor McGregor regarding Hasbulla's signing despite the Dubliner's online feud with the Russian. The UFC head honcho also jokingly stated that the former UFC double champ is likely to get a thrashing from Hasbulla if they meet on the street:

"Conor's gonna f*** around and get his a** whooped if he runs into him [Hasbulla] out in the streets."

Magomedov recently claimed to have signed a deal to fight in the UFC, giving rise to several logical questions. While the internet sensation has been confirmed to have signed with the promotion, it's unlikely to be for a sanctioned MMA fight. Also known as 'Mini Khabib', Magomedov has a genetic disorder and is a reported 3-foot-4 inches in height and weighs roughly 40 lbs.

Conor McGregor's online feud with Hasbulla

Hasbulla Magomedov has often engaged in friendly banter with UFC stars including Francis Ngannou and Henry Cejudo. However, the 19-year-old's feud with Conor McGregor seems to be authentic.

McGregor has surprisingly strong opinions about Magomedov, calling him a "smelly inbred" and a "gimp" in now deleted tweets. The Irishman even recently challenged the Russian teenager to a sparring session, promising a friendly affair. 'The Notorious' wrote in a now-deleted tweet:

"Let me spar Hasbulla UFC. Big gloves and a friendly affair I swear."

Magomedov responded by claiming to have been waiting for the opportunity. But he also dared Conor McGregor to challenge him without taking down the tweet. The 19-year-old wrote:

"This is what I’ve been waiting for, as usual it’s deleted. @TheNotoriousMMA, just @ me and leave the tweet up."
