Dana White Appoints Hasbulla to Shock Role as UFC 322 Moment Spotted
Hasbulla has an official job title in the UFC as Dana White has revealed his exact role within the MMA promotion.
Russian social media personality Hasbulla is a big UFC fan and is often seen in the corners of several Dagestan fighters, including MMA legend Khabib Nurmagomedov and current UFC welterweight champion Islam Makhachev.
The 23-year-old, who has appeared on Mike Tyson's podcast, has also done social media skits with UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski and UFC light-heavyweight king Alex Pereira, among others.
He even joined White during an appearance at the New York Stock Exchange in the days leading up to UFC 322 in New York City last weekend.

At UFC 322, he made his way into the famed Octagon after Makhachev's dominant victory over Jack Della Maddalena.
Hasbulla celebrated with Makhachev's team inside the cage after the star fighter claimed the UFC welterweight title following his lopsided unanimous decision victory.
It's not the first time Hasbulla has appeared at a UFC event, having sat cageside for last month's UFC 321 in Abu Dhabi.
Speaking ahead of UFC 322, White revealed that Hasbulla has a position within the company.
Asked if Hasbulla has a position within the 'corporate office', White replied: "He does actually," before adding: "He has a licensing deal with us."
White continued: "He wants to come to all the fights, especially when Khabib was fighting... Islam, Umar [Nurmagomedov]... he's a big supporter of all those guys.
"I like being able to not only bring him to these events but take care of him."
The revelation of Hasbulla having a job with the UFC comes just days after TKO Group announced a deal with DoorDash - the largest food delivery platform in the United States.
They were named the official on-demand delivery partner of WWE and UFC.
And Hasbulla was spotted with a DoorDash bag inside the cage after Makhachev's win at UFC 322.
He could be seen with his hood up, carrying a red DoorDash bag as he posed for pictures with Makhachev's team.
Fans can expect Hasbulla to be in attendance when Makhachev or Umar return to action given his role with the UFC.
