Hasbulla UFC announcement:
The influencer is popularly known as Mini Khalib in MMA circles due to his genetic disorder that causes childlike traits. The news about this said advancement initially broke back in September. It was earlier stated that Hasbulla has signed a five-year contract with UFC.
"This is a blast from the face! Husbick signed a five year contract with UFC! So far in the plan - attending tournaments, media activity. We will not talk about the amounts in detail, but there they are such that many fighters do not get that much. Hasbulla signed 5 year contract with UFC!

When the initial rumours swirled, UFC had not made any confirmations. However, now after Hasbulla announced what he is upto, UFC shared snaps of him on their social media accounts.
Even though it is not confirmed who Hasbulla will fight with first, there are a few speculations. Since Hasbulla has a dwarfism condition, there may be a possibility that may fight with Abdu Rozik, a Tajikistani musician who suffers from a similar condition to the Russian. The two have been involved in multiple altercations, with one even coming during UFC 267 last year.
Previously, Hasbulla was just involved with UFC's PR but looks like now he has gotten much more interested.
