Who Is Hasbulla? Russia’s Hottest Online Star Captivating The Internet
No particular string of factors makes content trend on social media. Many social media personalities have gone viral via self-made content. However, the popularity of others has been propelled by memes created by third parties.
Hasbulla Magomedov falls into the latter category. The influencer, also called “Mini Khabib,” first went viral on Instagram. But, though you might recognize him, you’ll be surprised by how little you know about Magomedov.
The Fight That Started It All
It was sometime in 2021 when a video of Hasbulla went viral on Tiktok. The video depicted him having a standoff with Abdu Rozik at a press conference. They were pretty close to exchanging blows.
No one could tell at the time what triggered the duo’s rivalry. However, while the video clips were aggressive, they were also very funny. You’ll learn why soon enough.
Who is Hasbulla?
The viral star and social media influencer is a familiar face on many platforms. If you’re an active user of social media apps, you’re likely to have seen his face while scrolling.

Hasbulla is often seen wearing a cap or hoodie due to his Islamic religion. This 19-year-old Influencer was born in Dagestan, Russia, and has lived most of his life there.
How Hasbulla Came to be Called 'Small Khabib'
Khabib Nurmagomedov is a professional Mixed Martial Arts fighter. Since Hasbulla began gaining popularity on social media, he has been spotted many times with Nurmagomedov.
Several people have assumed that the two are related, which is how Hasbulla acquired his nickname of ‘Small Khabib.’ And while neither of them has made an official statement about their relationship, Nurmagomedov also happens to be from Dagestan.
The Monetization of a Large Following
Because of Hasbulla’s millions of followers on social media, UFC approached him to become one of their brand ambassadors.

It’s usually common to find Twitter threads where Hasbulla and the likes of McGregor engage in a war of words.
Hasbulla's First Fight
Shortly after Hasbulla became an online sensation in 2021, there was a standoff between him and Abdu Rozik. Rozik, a singer from Tajikistan, challenged Hasbulla to a fight. However, the fight never happened.
So, after getting signed with UFC, many speculated that Hasbulla would be hitting the ring. However, the fight was ruled unethical due, and UFC most likely canceled the contest to prevent public backlash and bad PR.
How Rich Can A Teenager Get?
Judging by his new deal with UFC, many have speculated that Hasbulla would be worth over $1,000,000. However, UFC did not reveal the value of the Hasbulla deal, so Hasbulla’s net worth can only be speculated.

Although Hasbulla has not made an official statement about his growth rate, doctors have explained that he was born with dwarfism or pituitary dwarfism.
Living in a Child's Body
Hasbulla’s growth condition causes stunted growth, a high-pitched voice, and childlike characteristics. And although he has faced some challenges due to his condition, he feels upbeat about life. The teenage Hasbulla once said that since he has legs and arms and can comprehend quite well, he’s alright.
