"Made him swole af lmao" - Fans react to Hasbulla's role in UFC 5 game alongside Islam Makhachev

Well, the UFC didn't sign social media star Hasbulla Magomedov for nothing. The 3-foot-4"-inch superstar is in the new UFC 5 video game. In EA Sports' latest MMA simulation title, Magomedov can be seen walking beside lightweight champion Islam Makhachev during the latter's ring walk-cut scenes.

Magomedov maintains a close relationship with his countrymen, Khabib Nurmagomedov and Makhachev, and has featured in the lightweight champion's corner for many of his fights.

The social media star's inclusion in the game has left fight fans in splits, with many flooding the comments section.

Abdu Rozik calls out Hasbulla

Hasbulla first came to the limelight after his MMAeaque face-off with Abdu Rozik, who also suffers from dwarfism, went viral on Tiktok.

Since both individuals are of similar stature, many expected them to fight each other eventually. However, such an event has yet to come to fruition.

During a recent interview with Fight Hub TV during Misfits Boxing - The PRIME Card, Rozik reignited his feud with the Russian, challenging him to a fight.

He said:

"[The most] expensive fight in the whole world [is] standing here. Me and him, me and Hasbulla... I'm always, always ready to fight. Hasbulla is s**t, he is scared. He is not coming to fight with me. Tell him, 'you don't have to be scared', come fight, I'm always ready."
