Fans react to Hasbulla Magomedov signing with the UFC

MMA fans can’t stop making jokes about Hasbulla Magomedov signing with the UFC.

Hasbulla is a social media superstar who suffers from Growth Hormone Deficiency (dwarfism). At 20, ‘Mini Khabib’ is 3 foot 4 inches and started to get famous when he was seen hanging out with Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Hasbulla has since evolved into somewhat of a household name. He is often jestingly pit against Abdu Rozik, a 19-year old singer from Tajikistan who also suffers from dwarfism.

“Cejudo is finished”
