Conor McGregor told to ‘watch himself’ by Dana White over Hasbulla row

Conor McGregor has been told to ‘watch himself’ by UFC boss Dana White over his row with Hasbulla Magomedov. 

McGregor started his war of words by a series of tweets earlier in the month, he called Hasbulla a “smelly inbred”. 

He tweeted: “I’d love to boot that little gimp Hasbulla over a goal post. 

“How much to get him on the volley? I’m gonna make it my mission to score a three pointer with him one day, hon the GAA.” 

His random attack on Hasbulla has caught the attention of White, who is good friends with Hasbulla, who suffers from growth hormone deficiency. 

White sounded out a warning to McGregor whilst speaking on the podcast, My Mom’s Basement. 

He said: “Conor better watch himself. If he runs into Hasbulla then he's gonna be in some big trouble!” 

19-year-old Hasbulla has built up a good relationship with one of Mcgregor’s arch rivals, Khabib Nurmagomedov. Which could be a factor in the Irishman’s tweets. 

Hasbulla has since replied to McGregor’s threats. 

He said: "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!” 

Hasbulla added: “I don’t follow bums… I didn’t know someone was running their mouth, @ me next time. 

“I have my UFC contract now. If Conor McGregor is really a man… see me in Abu Dhabi. Got smashed by Khabib already. Guess his money from [Floyd] Mayweather ran out and he needs more attention.” 

McGregor then added fuel to the fire by posting an edited photo of himself holding up a children’s toy, which has Hasbulla’s face photoshopped onto it. 

The 19-year-old rose to fame after he posted videos of himself doing various dares and stunts, his uploads have since gathered more than two billion views on popular social media site TikTok. 

Will we see McGregor vs Hasbulla? Only time will tell.
