Hasbulla has become a bit of an MMA celebrity ever since he went viral a few months ago. He has been linked to the UFC for a long time and many wanted him to compete in the octagon.

There was a lot of speculation on whether the potential fight could happen and Hasbulla even had a meeting with Dana White planned before UFC 267. When UFC 267 happened back in October, the Russian star was in attendance and planned to talk to the UFC president.

Hasbulla took part in a press conference and discussed the possibility of fighting in the UFC. He also talked about speaking with Dana White.

“We didn’t discuss it and Dana White didn’t offer it,” Hasbulla told media during a press conference ahead of the Eagles MMA event last week.

“[Dana White] didn’t say anything about the UFC and fights,” Hasbulla added at the press conference on Friday. “Some people want to organize it but they won’t be able to, because it will be expensive and not too many people will be able to (pay for it). Plus I don’t want it at the moment.”

It appears Hasbulla is not interested in competing in the UFC or even in MMA. It seemed like a far-fetched idea from the start.

Hasbulla became a viral sensation when he made videos pretending to square off with someone else with the same condition. This led to many hoping he would fight for real in the UFC and continue to grow his legend.
