The Dagestani TikTok star Hasbulla has become an internet sensation thanks to his wholesome videos, pranks, and more. Interestingly, he’s also known for his close bond with UFC stars like Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev. However, it seems Hasbulla has miffed Alexander Volkanovski, as the latter has taken a shot at him for a previous mischievous act and is now demanding a rematch.
Recently, Volkanovski posted a video on Instagram saying he’s still upset about what Hasbulla did to him last time. For those who don’t know, Hasbulla made his secret sauce for smash burgers on Cooking with Volk. But after cooking, he took it up a notch by smacking Volkanovski in the face with an open burger. Consequently, Volk is now calling for a rematch with the Dagestani star.
Surprisingly, outta nowhere, Hasbulla swoops in and takes down Volk, proving once again he’s a force to be reckoned with—even if it’s all in good fun. This shows ‘Mini Khabib’ got mad respect from UFC stars, and his fame is off the charts. So much so that he’s even a character in the EA UFC game. Meanwhile, all eyes are on Volkanovski’s return.
Alexander Volkanovski wants to return, but at Lightweight Division
Alexander Volkanovski recently hit up the “FREESTYLEBENDER” YouTube channel with host David Adesanya to talk about what’s next for him in the UFC. With a featherweight title shot looking less likely, Volkanovski is now setting his eyes on making a jump in the lightweight division. Indeed, it seems he’s ready to move in fully despite the two losses against Islam Makhachev as he chases new opportunities.
It’ll be interesting to see how Alexander Volkanovski bounces back after his long reign ended with consecutive knockout losses. The former champ needs a strong opponent to reestablish himself in the lightweight division and start his climb from scratch to championship glory.
