‘If I meet him I’ll cause him problems’ – Hasbulla fires sensational warning to Conor McGregor after signing UFC deal

HASBULLA has slammed Conor McGregor and claimed he will "cause him some problems" if the pair cross paths.

The Russian recently put pen to paper to become the UFC's newest signing.

It comes after a series of social media exchanges between McGregor and Hasbulla.

Hasbulla named his chicken after the Irish fighter, with McGregor, 34, hitting back by saying: "I’d love to boot that little g**p Hasbulla over a goal post. How much to get him on the volley?

"I’m gonna make it my mission to score a 3 pointer with him one day."

Hasbulla then responded: "Hey uncle Dana White and UFC please make it happen.

"Let me eat this chicken Conor McGregor. I'm hungry, I’ll smash him with my mountain spirit.

"My brother Khabib [Nurmagomedov] smashed him and all his team, now is my time to rise!

"I don’t follow bums... I didn’t know someone was running their mouth, @ me next time."

And now he has doubled down on his past comments by claiming he does not respect McGregor.

Speaking on the , he said: "Yeah, I saw all of his tweets about me.

"But he is not my opponent, he can just talk. He’s not like a fighter for me, I don’t respect him as a fighter.

"And if I meet him, I will cause some problems for him."

McGregor has not fought since July last year when he suffered a second successive defeat to Dustin Poirier.

And last week, UFC boss Dana White jokingly claimed McGregor should not think about getting into the octagon with Hasbulla.

When asked whether McGregor had reached out after the Russian joined the UFC, White replied: "No! He shouldn't f*** around because he will get his ass whooped if he runs into him on the streets."
