Hasbulla Magomedov is the popularly titled \u201cmini Khabib\u201d who\u2019s taken over the internet over the past few years. The Russian internet star, best known on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, is a viral part of his country\u2019s combat sports scene, often seen performing dangerous stunts and staring down opponents twice his size. Hasbulla has become a bit of an icon in the Russian MMA community and has rubbed shoulders with quite a few top names \u2014 and apparently, the UFC\u2019s Dana White is among them. Hasbulla revealed this fact during an interview with YouTube boxer Joe Weller on the WAFFLIN\u2019 Podcast, after being asked who the most famous person in his contacts was. Weller couldn\u2019t believe what he was hearing when Magomedov gave his answer (\u201cDana White, probably\u201d), and asked if there\u2019s a possibility of a UFC fight in his future. Hasbulla\u2019s partner answered that, while White wants to make it happen, they\u2019re \u201cnot sure\u201d that it\u2019ll happen \u201canytime soon.\u201d \u201cWe welcome it,\u201d he made sure to say, before Hasbulla joked that he\u2019d like to have \u201cWWE match\u201d against Joe Weller someday. (Topic begins at 14:15) This news doesn\u2019t come as a huge surprise, though, considering that Hasbulla publicly called out Dana White in November 2021 and even met up with the prez at UFC 267 a month prior. If it happens, this would certainly make for one of the most interesting bouts in the history of the company. 18-year-old Hasbulla stands at 3\u20193\u2033 and is said to have a condition called Growth Hormone deficiency, causing his small stature. Despite his size, Hasbulla has made no bones about calling out larger opponents, as seen in his viral interaction with Logan Paul just last month when he called out the YouTuber for a fight.
