According to Hasbulla’s former partner Asxab Tamaev, Dana White had contacted him to buy the rights of Hasbulla vs. Abdu. However, Hasbulla dismissed any such claims and blasted his former partner. He said, “Yes, some people want to organize it, but they won’t be able to. Because it will be expensive and not too many people will be able to (pay for it). Plus, I don’t want it at the moment.”

When asked about Tamaev selling the rights to their fight, he said, “How could he do it? Is he my father or anything? Signed a contract with me to sell the fight? If, for example, I have something I can give it to him, and then he sells it. But how can he sell my fight as it doesn’t even exist? Yes. He posted some photoshopped screenshots of his DMs with Dana White. I told him to show me his screen recording with this. And he couldn’t.”
