Hasbulla reportedly signs 5 year deal with the UFC

According to Russian journalist Igor Kakdela, Hasbulla Magomedov has signed a 5 year deal with the UFC. However, if you thought that this would mean that he would be fighting in the MMA promotion, then you’d be sadly mistaken. Instead, you’d probably be correct to assume that Hasbulla is instead moving into some kind of media role due to his huge social media presence.

This makes sense, considering Dana White previously hinted towards working with him, saying that there was “More than a zero percent chance” of a collaboration. Hasbulla has previously trained with Khabib Numagomedov and also claimed that he wanted to fight Conor McGregor. Obviously, this sort of talk brings eyes to the sport. In recent times, Hasbulla has also been sighted having a cage-side seat during some pretty big UFC events too, so it seems that he’s genuinely held in high esteem by Dana White and the UFC. With this said, the UFC could have just found its next Joe Rogan!
