Hasbulla Magomedov shared a hilarious exchange with MMA legend Daniel Cormier ahead of this weekend's huge UFC 294.

A UFC lightweight championship bout between Islam Makhachev and Alexander Volkanovski and a UFC middleweight clash between Kamaru Usman and Khamzat Chimaev top a stacked card from Abu Dhabi on Saturday.

Volkanovski will get a second shot at Makhachev, having lost a narrow decision at UFC 284 earlier this year.

Chimaev, who will now represent a new nation, will return to action for first time since September 2022 as he welcomes former UFC welterweight king Usman to the 185lbs division.

The stars are in town ahead of the blockbuster bill from the Etihad Arena, with social media star Hasbulla set to attend the event.

He's been mingling with UFC personalties ahead of the show as he was involved in a brilliant interaction with former UFC heavyweight title holder Cormier. Check it out below:

A video shows the 20-year-old throwing a punch at 'DC' who jokingly stumbled back.

They continued their exchange as Hasbulla and Cormier wrestled, with the Dagestan sensation attempting to perform a single-leg takedown in comical scenes.

Hasbulla and Cormier shook hands and embraced following their grappling exchange.

The 3 foot 3 inch personality was also in the crowd for the official UFC 294 pre-fight press conference on Thursday.

He handed the UFC title to Makhachev as he faced off against Volkanovski. Hasbulla even stood between them during the stare down.

Hasbulla is expected to be Octagon side on fight night.
