Hasbulla has mocked Conor McGregor for deleting his tweet after the UFC star challenged him to a sparring match.
Former two-weight champion McGregor offered Hasbulla in a sparring session with "big gloves" as the pair continue to butt heads online. Hasbulla is an internet celebrity who rose to fame on social media and suffers with growth hormone deficiency (GHD), but is known for being good friends with McGregor's bitter UFC rival Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Hasbulla has mocked McGregor in the past by giving his chicken the same name as the UFC star, with McGregor eventually launching a tirade directed at the Russian in which he threatened to kick him over goal posts. McGregor also labelled Hasbulla a "little smelly inbred" with the internet celebrity hitting back by demanding that UFC boss Dana White lets him fight McGregor in the cage.

McGregor wanted to settle his feud with Hasbulla in the cage as he wrote in a now-deleted tweet: "Let me spar Hasbulla UFC. Big gloves and a friendly affair I swear." Hasbulla has now responded to the offer by writing: "This is what I’ve been waiting for, as usual it’s deleted. Conor McGregor, just @ me and leave the tweet up."
Videos of Hasbulla have amassed over three billion views online and the 19-year-old also has two million Instagram followers. Hasbulla has also claimed the UFC have given him a contract, but he will be unable to fight on the deal as he is just serving as a media representative with the promotion. The Russian challenged McGregor to meet him at the upcoming UFC 280 pay-per-view event in Abu Dhabi next month whilst labelling the Irishman a "bum".
"I don’t follow bums… didn’t know someone was running their mouth, @ me next time," he wrote. "I have my UFC contract now, if Conor McGregor is really a man… see me in Abu Dhabi. Got smashed by Khabib already. Guess his money from [Floyd] Mayweather ran out and he needs more attention". McGregor responded to Hasbulla's challenge by posting a picture of a children's toy with his face photoshopped on it with the caption: "Now what you saying you little g***."
White has previously discussed the idea of having Hasbulla fighting in the UFC, with the teenager keen to settle his rivalry with fellow internet star Abdu Rozik in the cage.
According to White, Hasbulla's father would stop his son from fighting as he is "super protective' of him. "I don't know if he wants to get involved. From what I hear, his father is super protective of him. If that's the case, you don't want your kid fighting," White said on Pardon My Take.
