‘The UK native’ also addressed Gaethje in his video, stating, “If it’s good for Gaethje, then why can’t it be good for McGregor? And especially when you combine the fact that listen, Conor McGregor took this sport by storm.”

The recent video showcased Hasbulla pulling the ear and hitting his cat, which had the fans enraged. They responded with deriding comments for the 3’4″ tall internet celebrity in the comments section of the post.

However, Hasbulla recently gave out his take on why he was behaving in such a manner with his cat. He stated, “Those brothers who think that I was beating the cat pulled the ear, this and that, I pulled the ear gently”.

‘Khabib Nurmagomedov’s countrymate’ went on, “She [his cat] was misbehaving, and I just pulled the ear and that’s it. The most lovely animal is a cat and when she disobeyed me, I scolded her a little and you are attacking me for nothing“.

The noted Bellator Light Heavyweight fighter, Luke Trainer, achieved more than one single win at the Bellator 293. Initially, ‘the UK native’ put up a superb show of his in-circle prowess.
