Dana White had a meeting with Hasbulla Magomedov at UFC 267. The Russian social media start was present at the event in order to cheer for Islam Makachev.
Hasbulla sent a video to the UFC President letting him know he needed to be ready for their meeting. The video went viral on social media.
“Dana White, I’m coming to UFC Abu Dhabi. See you soon.” Hasbulla told the UFC boss in the video.
Dana White responded in a video of his own. He let him know he was on the way and ready for their meeting.
“I’m on the plane. I’m on Etihad, right now, on my way to Abu Dhabi. I cannot wait for our meeting and I cannot wait to see you.”
The video surprised a lot of people as it seemed odd that the two would link up in some way and have a meeting. Rumors of Hasbulla fighting in the UFC started circulating like crazy.
Dana White went on the Barstool Sports podcast ‘My Mom's Basement' to discuss things with Hasbulla.
“So I’m going to tell you something. So the video that he sent saying ‘Dana White I’m coming to Abu Dhabi and UFC’, so when I posted that with me on the plane saying ‘I’m coming’, it’s the biggest post that I’ve ever posted.” White said. “I have 6.7 million followers on Instagram, 6.4 million people watched that video. Is that fucking crazy?!”
When asked about the meeting, Dana White had one word to describe the encounter. He also addressed whether we could see Hasbulla fight in the UFC.
“Incredible,” White said of the meeting. “I love the kid. Is there more than a zero percent chance? Yes.”
It seems unlikely that we would see the Russian compete in the UFC but it appears there's a small chance.
