Hasbulla Magomedov’s star-studded appearance at UFC 267

Hasbulla truly made his presence known in the MMA community when he stopped by UFC 267 to watch the fight cage side. Chiefly, Islam Makhachev was performing at the Abu Dhabi-based PPV event and Khabib Nurmagomedov would be in attendance. This served as a perfect opportunity for ‘Mini Khabib’ to interact with ‘The Eagle’ in person.

In fact, Hasbulla is known for such hilarious moves and Cormier went on to say that he should have expected it.

The highlight of the night would certainly have to be when Khabib Nurmagomedov hoisted Hasbulla over his shoulder. Following Makhachev’s dominant win over Dan Hooker, a celebration was certainly in order.

Hasbulla Magomedov was extremely jovial in the corner and was visibly happy to see Makhachev come out on top. Hasbulla’s presence served to build up UFC 267 and will go down as a flagship event that took place in Abu Dhabi.
