Who doesn’t love it when someone like Dana White shows his support to ‘Mini-Khabib’? Everyone is aware that Hasbulla Magomedov was put under house arrest after he was caught for being an on-road nuisance. That’s right, the Russian UFC ambassador was taken to court for violating traffic rules and things have been different since. However, one person has been by Hasbulla’s side this whole time.

And that is none other than UFC CEO, Dana White. White had Hasbulla signed up as a UFC ambassador very soon after the star hit the jackpot of fame on social media. Soon, Hasbulla was roaming with the biggest UFC stars like Khabib Nurmagomedov. Now, White has sent a message to the star confirming his presence at a pay-per-view.

This is not the first time Dana White has shown his love for the Dagestani marvel. Earlier, White uploaded a post on Instagram showing his fans a new fried spaghetti dish that he was trying. The UFC boss admitted that going through the process of making the dish was quite long but it was definitely worth it.

Meanwhile, fans were completely distracted by the t-shirt White was wearing. It had Hasbulla’s picture on it with the words “free Hasbulla” printed. The post drew enormous reactions from fans who praised White’s dedication towards the influencer. Now, White has uploaded yet another story with a promise to Hasbulla.

“See you in a couple weeks @hasbulla.hushetskiy,” wrote White. The message goes out to confirm that Hasbulla will most likely be present for UFC 294. That’s when Team Khabib’s Islam Makhachev will defend his title against former champ Charles Oliveira. Earlier, Hasbulla had put up a tweet hinting at his return.

Fans have been ever so excited to receive the star back. Many are glad that while Makhachev won’t have Khabib Nurmagomedov by his side, at least ‘Mini-Khabib’ will be there to cheer him on. It was a heartwarming moment for many because Hasbulla’s absence has been highly noted in the UFC community. But what was it exactly that got him behind the bars?

Why was Hasbulla arrested?

Celebrating a wedding with overenthusiastic behavior is common in Dagestan. Hasbulla was taken by the police alongside some of his friends earlier this year for something similar. He was initially put behind bars but later on, a house arrest sentence was delivered. Now, the 20-year-old phenom looks forward to making a grand public return.

‘Mini-Khabib’ has been rooting for Makhachev and Team Khabib for a while now. He’s also attracted negative attention from Conor McGregor because of this. Once Dana White was asked about McGregor’s comments about Hasbulla’s UFC signings and he said “. . . He shouldn’t f**k around because he will get his ass whooped if he runs into him on the streets.” The love between the two is still strong and it shows. So, how do you think the reunion between the two is going to go down? Let us know in the comments.
