The 20-year-old has also attended several UFC events to support him. Furthermore, his fame skyrocketed after he signed a multi-year PR deal with the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

However, as is the case with most social media personalities, even Hasbulla is not safe from controversies. The Dagestani social media sensation recently made the news after a video of him abusing his cat surfaced on the internet.
