With his global popularity continuing to surge, it seems the TikTok megastar's face is practically everywhere at the moment.
Although this latest video hasn't gone down well with people online.
In a clip posted to reddit, a user has screen recorded the Dagestan native's snapchat account.
Within the footage seemingly uploaded by Hasbulla's account, he can be seen tugging on an innocent cat's ear.
Hasbulla, nicknamed 'Mini Khabib', then hits the scared creature before it scurries away to its bed.
The 20-year-old then follows the cat to pester it some more, hitting it a couple of extra times.
Upon seeing the distressing vision, fans on Reddit wasted no time in calling him out.
Replying to the original thread, one user said: "Why did he even put this on the internet, wtf."
While another added: "Imagine the things he does to that poor cat that he doesn't show to others."
As one person commented: "That's his whole 'act' by sucker punching other people. So he probably thinks it's funny and cute when he does it to the cat."
And a fourth chimed in, saying: "We can finally agree that Hasbulla is f**king annoying & stupid."
On Twitter, users shared the same feeling.
Someone tweeted: "He is a 20 year old dude yāall do know right? Itās not like a small child is doing this. Idk why people praise him."
While another added: "This is painful to watch man not the poor kitty
One bloke even called out Dana White and the UFC, saying: "@danawhite @ufc wonāt watch until you announce you are severing ties with Hasbulla."
Late last year, Hasbulla announced that he had 'signed with the UFC' after striking up a friendship with Dana White
Along with a picture of him holding Hasbulla merchandise, the social media sensation tweeted: "The rumours are true. I have officially signed a deal to fight in the UFC!
"Details will be revealed by the end of the year. Thank you to my team for making this dream a reality."
