One of his biggest targets is Khabib's mortal rival Conor McGregor.

The two foes have had several X back and forth's including one where Hasbulla named his pet chicken after the Irishman.

Dagestani wrestlers have often labelled McGregor as a "chicken" after he tapped out in his blockbuster fight with Khabib.

McGregor responded in an awful tweet that has been deleted, calling him a "smelly little inbred" and saying he would "boot" him if he ever saw him in person.

Hasbulla responded: “I want to punish this one [Conor McGregor]. He talks too much.” 

Why was Hasbulla arrested?

On May 8, 2023, it was revealed that Hasbulla and his friends were reportedly arrested by cops "for driving offences".

He and his friends allegedly used their cars to block traffic and do doughnuts in the middle of a main road.

They claim to have done this in celebration of a friend's wedding in Dagestan, Russia.

Local reports claim that the group was taken into custody and charged with administrative violations.
