Hasbulla Magomedov has signed a five-year UFC contract - it's worth more than a lot of fighters

The 19-year-old, who suffers from dwarfism and has a child-like appearance, has become one of the biggest names on the internet with 3.2 million Instagram followers and over 2 billion views on TikTok.

And according to combat sports journalist Igor Lazorin, Hasbulla will be working with Dana White and the UFC for the next five years.

He will not be fighting under the promotion's umbrella, as the contract involves appearances instead. Lazorin has not disclosed the money involved but claims it's above what some fighters get paid.

“Hasbulla signed a five year contract with UFC! So far in the plan – attending tournaments, media activity," he wrote on Instagram.

"We will not talk about the amounts in detail, but there they are such that many fighters do not get that much. Hasbulla signed 5 year contract with UFC! No fights yet, but…”

At one point UFC head honcho White jokingly teased a meeting with Hasbulla in Abu Dhabi but he did then attend UFC 267.

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.” 

"Hey uncle Dana White and UFC please make it happen," he wrote.

“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."

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