Hasbulla is one of the most popular social media influencers from Dagestan, Russia. The 18-year-old internet celebrity is sometimes mistaken for a child, owing to his face, voice, and other physical characteristics.

He rose to prominence by posting funny videos on TikTok, pretending to fight children. Hasbulla also posted multiple videos mimicking MMA legend and former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, earning himself the moniker 'Mini Khabib'.

Nurmagomedov and Hasbulla hail from Makhachkala and have known each other for quite some time now. Being the high-profile celebrity he is in his native Dagestan, 'The Eagle' has helped Hasbulla further solidify himself as a popular entertainer in the region.
