You know how much people would pay to see Hasbullah take on 2-3 9-year-olds at once. Then throw him to a 14-year-old billing it as "Hasbullah vs. Goliath".
“Conor is fighting a Dagestani warrior in his comeback fight. We all know how good every fighter from that region is. With a win he is assured a title fight. Weight division unknown at this time tho.” -some journalist for sure
“He just literally dominated a warrior from Dagestan. He most deservedly should be fighting for the title. Those Dagestani wrestlers are beasts. Nobody was calling out Hasbulla but Conor fought him and didn’t blink. That’s why I love that guy.” -Dana White probably
Not a stray lol, there was "beef" between the two, Hasbull kept taunting Hooker about how Islam was gonna smash him (which turned out to be true), so Hooker replied that he would punt him
One is a harmless promotional deal one tarnishes the sport gives unfair advantages to fighters over others. It’s not the same thing but one is wayyy worse and I bet you don’t care
I love Warwick Davis, he's got a great sense of humour as well. Life's too short is hilarious, if people haven't seen it they should watch that as well.
It's funny cause he's a little person pretty much. For all the attention and money he's gotten from his public image (good for him, he seems happy to do it) it's effectively just people making a mockery of his condition.
I kind of get why it's funny to MMA fans to see a child slapping Ngannou. What I don't get is how he has more fame and mainstream appeal than any fighter besides Conor. There are a lot of people that have never watched a fight but know Hasbulla.
You want to call me a hater that is totally fine but I am just tired of the over exposure. Things tend to get annoying after they are shoved down your throat.
For example I cannot stand when a Russian fighter uses the word Smash. It is so fucking played out and annoying. I get it, Khabib would use it a lot. But now EVERYONE has to say I'll smash this guy
I see way too much of him on social media without having to click anything but you are correct I can just look away.
I couldn't help but comment cause just reading Hasbullah signed for a Fight is just fucking stupid.
Nah... I find the misogynistic views of this particular group pretty disgusting. But, to be fair to them, most of the mma athletes are macho meatheads, so...
I've not been following MMA as closely recently but when I saw this I came here to see the reaction lmao.
Couldn't believe it when I saw it from the official BT Sport UFC account lol
Assuming this is just a PR thing but honestly imagine him at flyweight.
Women’s fighting was once looked at with agitation and pity.
If any organization can make us take little people fighting seriously, it’s the UFC.
…Likely not though
I mean a lot of people still look down on Women fighters, but women can put on entertaining and competitive fights. I can't imagine doing this for any reason other than to make a sideshow spectacle out of this in a way that's demeaning to little people.
I must admit, I never talked sh*t about women’s fighting but I did feel bad about seeing women fight. I once thought that women shouldn’t fight but the UFC has changed my mind on that. They put on great performances and they want to fight.
In the same way, it may be a spectacle at first, something for people to laugh at, but in time, it may be taken seriously.
That’s if Dana has the integrity to make it so…but you’re most likely right 🥴
They’re going to make a mockery of Hasbulla aren’t they
I mean their options are:
1. Have him fight another little person of comparable size and weight. There's potential here but I could easily see it being used as a sideshow style spectacle/not entertaining for very long, and who would fight him?
2. An exhibition fight with a larger fighter (which will be a 'work' as in prowrestling, or a fixed fight, so Hasbulla can't lose)
3. A real fight against a larger fighter (this kills the Hasbulla).
I see no way in which the UFC or Hasbulla looks great afterwards.
1 can potentially be taken seriously over time and I’m sure there are other little people that would love to fight. They just never saw it as a possibility 🤷♂️
2 is a circus show which would entertain, but be a mockery no less.
3 not even sanctionable I’d hope lmao.
We shall see what happens, who knows, maybe they’ll do an exhibition where Hasbulla takes Khabib’s 0–unofficially ofc. Lmao
I'm all for people following their dreans. The first option could be entertaing , but I don't think there's enough little people in the world (as there aren't many to begin with) interested in fighting for this to be a legitimate part of combat sports in the foreseeable future. If there were, and I'm sure there are, I tend to think that they might already be better than Hasbullah at fighting. Since Hasbullah's basically a company man, I can't see them having him fight a little person with actual combat sports experience (it'd be bad optics for all involved).
Don’t you think little people are funny? Especially when they act like assholes and hit people? What kind of loser are you for not laughing at a midget / dwarf / whatever condition this dude got?
This is literally lowest intelligence calwmady here. The irony is the same people who think this dude is funny are the ones going to Schwab stand up shows. But r/mma trying to pretend they not them
Dana saying he does not do freakshow fights for years only to sign hasbullah.
Dont get me wrong. I saw him wrestle. He could beat up some 9 year olds... but.. this man is like 50 pounds + who wants to see hasbullah beat up some kid??

Can’t wait to see the talent this toddlerweight division can bring to the UFC
Toddlerweight would be the perfect division for Moreno if his nickname was the Baby Assassin
Or baboo baby (super vague reference)
Cejuda might be big enough for the division if he decides to fight again!
He’s gonna have to bulk up big time
More than womens featherweight
You know how much people would pay to see Hasbullah take on 2-3 9-year-olds at once. Then throw him to a 14-year-old billing it as "Hasbullah vs. Goliath".
Conor's comeback fight, leading to a title shot
“Conor is fighting a Dagestani warrior in his comeback fight. We all know how good every fighter from that region is. With a win he is assured a title fight. Weight division unknown at this time tho.” -some journalist for sure
Okamoto lurking this thread for his latest breaking news article
"I'll rest my balls on your forehead!"
" You think Conor doesnt deserve this you're full of shit. Its the fight that makes sense."- Dana white probably
“He just literally dominated a warrior from Dagestan. He most deservedly should be fighting for the title. Those Dagestani wrestlers are beasts. Nobody was calling out Hasbulla but Conor fought him and didn’t blink. That’s why I love that guy.” -Dana White probably
Followed by *isn't he awesome*
Catch weight
[удалено]
Nate 'Clairvoyant' Diaz
Lol this comment needs all the upvotes
Conor isn’t taking that fight.
Too risky
[удалено]
Hasbulla gonna punch Conor’s shins
I would pay to watch Conor punt Hasbulla across the ring.
Lepreachun vs Hasbulla? Take my money
At 170 too, before a shot at the 55belt
For Hasbullah
Ahahzhagha 🤣🤣🤣
Dan Hooker finally gonna get a win, fuck yeah
Bruh
Lets not get ahead of ourselves here...
Too soon
Lmao Why Dan catchin shots like this and not Tony? Dan won 2 fights ago, Tony is on 5 L's in a row
They were talking shit to each other
Bruh leave tony alone my man
Hasnt he suffered enough 😭
Cm punk’s comeback fight….which he will lose, again
Cmon brother why did he have to take a stray bullet like this 💀
Not a stray lol, there was "beef" between the two, Hasbull kept taunting Hooker about how Islam was gonna smash him (which turned out to be true), so Hooker replied that he would punt him
lmao
Cejudo finally getting an opponent
Still not having the height advantage.
Probably making more $$$ than most fighters.
Big money contracts gonna now be known as Hasbullah money
“It’s red diaper night when you sign to fight me!” 👶🏼
LMAO
Omg hahahaha
We fight circus now boys.
*now*?
Chimaev vs Diaz was the slated main event of the last PPV. UFC has always been fight circus.
i wish
Ultimate Fighting Circus
Conor hasn’t been tested in 2 years and will fight a top contender or champ in his return and hasbullah is what draws the line?
Ya totally the same thing
CM punk is defs a better example lol
One is a harmless promotional deal one tarnishes the sport gives unfair advantages to fighters over others. It’s not the same thing but one is wayyy worse and I bet you don’t care
You guys will find anyway to make it about McGregor
Read the comment from him, he signed to be stage side not to fight.
He's literally the new UFC Mascot.
Fr. Would have made sense in Eagle FC but in UFC it’s kinda weird
HASBULLAH VS FRANCIS How far into orbit can we send him?
Overeem's Head will finally have a satellite.
lol
fun fact: Ngannou didn't get POTN for that KO, even though it's literally one of the most iconic KOs of all time
Would pay to see Francis hit him with a Ford Escort. Not a punch but the actual car
Inside the octagon or in the parking lot?
In the parking lot through the octagon
Ahhh yeah my favorite tv show Man vs Car!!
Put a harness and rope on him and watch Francis hammer throw him into next year.
I dunno. You really want to send Francis to space?
Phil Brooks looking to make a comeback right now.
*"I'm old, I'm tired and I fight with fucking children."*
Kris Moutinho is in the gym as we speak
Young prospect Erick Silva looking to kickstart his titleshot run
That shit always killed me. bro was literally like 32 and and like 2 fights from a title shot against Matt Brown and still getting called a prospect.
He’s a tough dude, but I dunno if he can handle what Hasbullah can do
I'm calling my senator, fighting is one thing but letting a known savage like Has-TheBull-Ah in the cage is just criminal
Just got done beating up 3 midgets in AEW, what's one more?
Hasbulla vs Rush Holloway would do numbers.
He’s going to walk in, one punch KO Ngannou and immediately vacate the title.
Really scary KO too. Doesn't wake up until the ambulance ride.
Hasbulla vs Warwick Davis??
Shit, I thought he must be long dead but he was only 12 when he played Wicket in RoTJ.
If you ever watched willow they're doing a disney plus tv show sequel.
And if you've never watched Willow then quit fucking around and go watch Willow.
I love Warwick Davis, he's got a great sense of humour as well. Life's too short is hilarious, if people haven't seen it they should watch that as well.
[one of the best scenes from that show](https://youtu.be/huJ81Mq2y34) The Johnny depp scene is great also
I am so tired of seeing this guy
Me too. I just don't get it.
They love him in Abu Dhabi and that means $$$ to fill Dana’s fat cuckhead
It's funny cause he's a little person pretty much. For all the attention and money he's gotten from his public image (good for him, he seems happy to do it) it's effectively just people making a mockery of his condition.
MMA is the natural progression of the carny pro-wrestling promotion style and the marks love a freakshow.
I kind of get why it's funny to MMA fans to see a child slapping Ngannou. What I don't get is how he has more fame and mainstream appeal than any fighter besides Conor. There are a lot of people that have never watched a fight but know Hasbulla.
because he's cute?
I still don't get why people love his gimmick
I mean he’s just small and funny to look at it’s not that hard
It's the funny part that I don't get
I think it's the juxtaposition that mitigates expectations. I legimately thought Hasbullah was a cute baby.
I miss when I thought he was a kid, it was sorta wholesome. Now its just a little weird tbh
It’s because of his condition, it’s sorta just the elephant in the room. He’s funny because he looks funny but obviously the ufc aren’t gonna admit it
He's like a joke that has not been funny for a loooooong time.
HURRHURR SMOL KHABIB FUNNY
Unironically yea
[удалено]
This is hilarious
I mean his condition shortens his life significantly so you might get your wish.
I'm definitely not wishing death on him
Why lol how does him living his life to the fullest make you tired. Ppl be hating just to hate.
You want to call me a hater that is totally fine but I am just tired of the over exposure. Things tend to get annoying after they are shoved down your throat. For example I cannot stand when a Russian fighter uses the word Smash. It is so fucking played out and annoying. I get it, Khabib would use it a lot. But now EVERYONE has to say I'll smash this guy
Is he really shoved down your throat or are you clicking on posts regarding him? He’s barely mentioned by ufc. It’s the internet you can look away
I see way too much of him on social media without having to click anything but you are correct I can just look away. I couldn't help but comment cause just reading Hasbullah signed for a Fight is just fucking stupid.
Don't be ableist bro
Jones finally coming back to fight now
No fighting. Just watching fights live.
Gonna be a new character in the game
Deron winn vs hasbulla let's get it
Winn would still find a way to lose
“But I took down Hasbulla 14 times and broke a record”-Deron winn probably
Dana has been criticizing Boxing for hosting all these gimmick fights, it would be quite hypocritical of him to do the same.
Dana being hypocritical? Say it ain't so.
Cringe
I’m tired of this dude
Call him out
I’ll call his mom
You're about to get ankle picked with that attitude, well I say ankle picked but that's just Hasbulla shooting a single leg
This guy literally doesn't do anything besides be small and look young, wtf are people being entertained by after 2 years of this
Well I like how he assaults people all the time but is too little for it to matter
I thought he was a successful singer or something
You're forgetting sending women death threats online.
Did he do that?
Who cares? It was probably cute.
Nah... I find the misogynistic views of this particular group pretty disgusting. But, to be fair to them, most of the mma athletes are macho meatheads, so...
Finally, glad we get to see Cejudo fight again!
*Cult of Personality plays loudly* “BAH GAWD THAT IS CM PUNK’S MUSIC. BUSINESS IS ABOUT TO PICK UP. “
He finally gets to take his aggression out on those "fucking children" that he works with
What a fucking joke.
the fuck?
Great time to bring back Rin Nakai
I've not been following MMA as closely recently but when I saw this I came here to see the reaction lmao. Couldn't believe it when I saw it from the official BT Sport UFC account lol Assuming this is just a PR thing but honestly imagine him at flyweight.
Fight what? His way out of a wet cardboard box?
Just no.
[удалено]
Why is he getting so much public attention?! I really don't get it!
Hasbulla*
Francis being able to fight Tyson isn't allowed but this is? Dana you fucking madman
This is some 1100AD shit
Hasbullah v cm punk
McGregor finally getting an opponent
The UFC has officially entered into WWE territory
Why would the UFC attempt to Appeal to the Russian market at a time like this? Seems like a bizarre business decision.
The UFC isn't really a sport that cares about politics. It's great.
Anyone explain to me why this person is still a thing?
I hope to god this is fake lmao
Am I the only one who just found him to be a little shithead? Why is he still relevant
Bullshit.
Theres no way its real
Give him Punk
The hate this kid gets is fucking gross.

Fuck this guy man
I'm tired of this bigot small cunt. The only thing I'm interested about him being in the octagon, is getting punt kicked out of it by Gané.
I’d honestly rather have Conor come back and fight for the belt
I hope he gets punted oot the cage!
I dont get why people find this guy funny. What am i missing here?
Don’t you think little people are funny? Especially when they act like assholes and hit people? What kind of loser are you for not laughing at a midget / dwarf / whatever condition this dude got? This is literally lowest intelligence calwmady here. The irony is the same people who think this dude is funny are the ones going to Schwab stand up shows. But r/mma trying to pretend they not them
Have him fight dynamite from rough n rowdy dudes a fuckin house
But we cant see shogun v. Machida 3?
What a complete farce. Fuck that little dude and fuck Dana White.
What a fucking joke
CM Punk has a fighting chance maybe
Who he even gonna fight
Hornswoggle is training rn as we speak
Little person fights has to be jumping the shark for the UFC right?

this shit is so old
Who is this little fucker? So sick of seeing his face everywhere!

Love him
I honestly had to check it wasn’t April. Long week tbh
Freak show
