MMA reporter Igor Lazorin said: “This is a blast from the face! Hasbulla signed a five year contract with UFC! So far in the plan – attending tournaments, media activity.
“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…”
One of Hasbulla’s rivals, Abdu Rozik has recently punched a cardboard cutout of the Russian as boxing fans have been calling for a fight between the pair.

Rozik told talkSPORT: “Always ready to fight Hasbulla. I’m ready always! I don’t like him.
“He’s like when people are not respectful. If he sees somebody, he punches him immediately. It’s not even, ‘Hi, how are you?’ If he sees you… he is coming and punching you.”
