The internet sensation recently attended the Eagle FC 43 event. Khabib Nurmagomedov owns the promotion, and during Hasbulla’s appearance, he talked to the media. The media asked him about the event and how he would rate it compared to UFC. He said, “The event is just fire to be fair. I’d give 51% to 49% in favor of this event.”
He was later asked about joining the promotion as a matchmaker. However, he was happy being present as a guest and was not interested in that idea. He also talked about not being interesting in fighting Abdu Rozik anymore, and his former partner spread lies about selling his fight to Dana White. But he also believes nobody will book a fight between him and his rival. As it will be too expensive and only a few people will pay for it.
