Not long ago, a video of Volkanovski and Hasbulla also went viral. The Russian pulled a prank on the Champ and both seemed to be enjoying their company.

By chance, McGregor’s tweet came shortly after the Australian had posted his video with Hasbulla. The Irishman ridiculed Mini Khabib by calling him a “g*mp” and an “inbred” 

The following comments were made by Conor McGregor to Hasbulla.

I’d love to boot that little g*mp Hasbulla over a goal post.”

“How much to get him on the volley.”

“I’m gonna make it my mission to score a 3 pointer with him one day, hon the gaa.”

And the one that got the most attention, was when McGregor said, “Little Smelly inbred.”

Vokanovski wants to fight Conor McGregor

This is not the first time that Volkanovski has spoken about Conor McGregor. Previously, in an interview, the no.1 fighter expressed his willingness to fight McGregor. 

He said, “It’s always going to be a big fight, there’s always going to be money, there’s going to be a circus, it’s going to be entertaining, it’s going to be fun, I’ll enjoy that whole f***ing thing.”

McGregor’s last fight inside the octagon was in July 2021. In that fight against Dustin Poirier, the Notorious seriously injured his leg and lost the bout via doctor stoppage.
