Khabib Nurmagomedov is good friends with the 3ft 4in Russian
The 3ft 4in Russian is a viral internet sensation from Dagestan dubbed “Mini Khabib”.
And he shared his happiness at his latest breakthrough.
He said: “The rumors 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.”

He is also aware 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?!”
And when asked if Hasbulla could fight, White answered: “I love the kid. Is there more than a zero percent chance? Yes.”
Hasbulla has a very good track record for going viral and is currently involved in a feud with Conor McGregor.
The pair first clashed after Hasbulla named his pet chicken after The Notorious.
In response Mcgregor has posted several photos mocking Hasbulla and revealed he would love to punt the 3ft4in star over a goalpost.
