It also brings us back to you with our MMA news roundup to present you with a skimmed view of some of the noteworthy MMA world incidents.

Finally, we’ll wrap things up after knowing about the incident which made a lot of MMA fans turn against the noted internet celebrity, Hasbulla.

Conor McGregor bashed Justin Gaethje after his revelation about his UFC departure

Recently, a rumor came out that ‘Mystic Mac’ might be getting a shot at the UFC Lightweight title if he manages to come out victorious in his touted bout against Michael Chandler. However, this rumor infuriated the famed UFC Lightweight, Justin Gaethje. ‘The Highlight’ felt that it was unjust to provide a title shot to McGregor after just a single win. In an interview with ‘ESPN’, he also stated that he wouldn’t mind quitting the UFC if things turn out that way.

However, McGregor also displayed his known character once more and bashed Gaethje with a reality check. McGregor has posted a now-deleted tweet addressing Gaethje.

It read, “This braindead fool got a title shot off of one single win and it was vs chandler. Yet he will quit and retire if I get the same thing. Classic gathje bird brain. #Jackass Two Title attempt. No wins. #gaethje”.

It was understandable that McGregor justified getting a title shot after a single win. In his tweet, ‘The Notorious’ also reminded that Gaethje himself had enjoyed such an opportunity under identical circumstances. Who would you side with in this regard? McGregor or Gaethje?

Michael Bisping lauded Israel Adesanya with a prestigious remark

There would be hardly any UFC fan who doesn’t know about the former UFC Middleweight Champion, Israel Adesanya. ‘The Last Stylebender’ also has a remarkable six title defenses to his name, making him one of the most notable UFC Champions. Although ‘Izzy’ had to give up his Middleweight title after a loss against Alex Pereira last year, the ‘Nigerian-New Zealander’ is still lauded by a lot of fans and UFC personalities as well.

Recently, the former UFC Middleweight champ, commentator, and analyst, Michael Bisping, expressed his appreciation for ‘Izzy’. In Bisping’s opinion, Adesanya was one of the most active champions in the UFC.

He further lauded ‘Izzy’ stating, “Probably the busiest, most active, and one of the most successful champions that the UFC has ever seen”. Do you also agree with Bisping’s opinion? Or would you pick someone else?

The MMA world bashed Hasbulla after his animal abuse video went viral

The famed Dagestani internet star, Hasbulla, officially signed as a mascot of the UFC in October last year. Post his UFC signing, his fame increased to another level as well-known celebrities including, Mark Wahlberg started approaching him for selfies. But, recently a rather negative video of Hasbulla surfaced which had a lot of UFC fans bashing him.

The viral video showcased Hasbulla abusing his pet cat. Initially, he stretched the cat’s ear and then punched the cat twice in its face and body. Numerous UFC fans including the noted UFC Lightweight, Dan Hooker, expressed disgust at Hasbulla’s act calling to suspend him from the internet.

Hooker wrote, “Been waiting, let’s cancel this bullsh*t cn*t”.

There were numerous other fans as well, who bashed the ‘Dagestani internet celebrity’ following his allegedly inhuman act. How do you see this behavior from Hasbulla? Do you also have similar demands as Hooker?
