The intense rivalry between the two is well documented. Both have even sporadically exchanged words on social media platforms.
In a recent interview, the UFC lynchpin Dana White discussed the upcoming PPV UFC 280 and the subsequent title fights. In the same segment, he pointed out the likely conclusion if both the stars of their respective fields run into each other in the streets.
While ‘Mini Khabib’ has signed a UFC contract, the exact details of the contract are not known yet. Therefore, the fans are speculating on the exact nature of his UFC contract.

The host of the podcast inquired Dana White about the contractual situation of Dagestan hailing internet sensation. Thus he asked, “When he [Hasbullah Magomedov] announced it [UFC contract], he said he signed to fight in the UFC. Is that true? Is that accurate?”
The 53-year-old looked surprised as if the question caught him off-guard. He replied, “I didn’t know this was coming. Um, but yes, we did sign Hasbullah, um, and, uh, what, what he’s going to end up doing remains to be seen.”
The host followed up with a question and asked if the Irishman called him up after the announcement. Given the history of feuds between them, this was an expected question. However, Dana White replied with a short and formal “no.”
Following this, the host brought up his curiosity on the matter as Conor McGregor always has a word about Hasbullah.
