Hasbulla Magomedov ‘arrest’ updates — Dagestan icon breaks silence after being ‘arrested for driving offences’
Is Hasbulla a UFC fighter?
In September 2022, Hasbulla announced that he signed a five-year UFC contract.
He went live with the update on his Instagram, which read: “The rumours are true. I have officially signed a deal to fight in the UFC! Details will be revealed by the end of the year.
“Thank you to @ufc, @danawhite, @khabib_nurmagomedov, @sungurov_usa, @justinozuna and everyone who helped make this dream become a reality.
“All my fans will be able to buy a Hasbulla fight kit soon on UFC.com and hasbulla.com.”
Chief Dana White is a huge fan of Hasbullah after meeting him at UFC 267 in the Middle East in October 2021.
He is also aware of Hasbulla’s popularity and could use that to help promote the company.
White said of Hasbulla: “So I’m going to tell you something. So the video that he sent saying ‘Dana White I’m coming to Abu Dhabi and UFC’, so when I posted that with me on the plane saying ‘I’m coming’, it’s the biggest post that I’ve ever posted.
“I have 6.7 million followers on Instagram, 6.4 million people watched that video. Is that f***ing crazy.”
