Hasbulla Magomedov has officially signed a contract with the UFC and has fulfilled his dream of becoming a professional MMA fighter. Details of the contract have not been revealed as yet, but the UFC and Hasbulla have confirmed the news. The Russian made the announcement on his Twitter account:

"The rumors are true. I have officially signed a deal to fight in the @ufc! Details will be revealed by the end of the year. Thank you to my team for making this dream a reality. Get official Hasbulla @ufcstore merch at http://ufcstore.com or http://hasbulla.com"

Take a look at the tweet:

Magomedov has his own UFC jersey along with other merchandise that has his name on it. Whether he will fight in the organization is yet to be confirmed. He challenged Tajikistani singer Abdu Rozik to an MMA fight in 2021. The Tajikistani singer also suffers from the same condition as Magomedov. However, the Russian Dwarf Athletic Association did not approve of the fight and deemed it unethical.

The pair became global superstars after videos of their face-offs began circulating around the internet and went viral. However, since then, they have had a love-hate relationship with each other and there is no indication of a fight between them taking place anytime soon.
