Hasbulla sends threatening message to Conor McGregor detailing consequences of a public confrontation: "I'm a man. Why should I run from him?"

Hasbulla recently issued a stern message to Conor McGregor, warning him about the repercussions of any potential public confrontation. The internet sensation is a longtime ally of Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev, which likely explains why he frequently taunts 'The Notorious,' a well-known rival of the Dagestani fighters.

Hasbulla and the former UFC two-division champion have had their fair share of online spats over time, but both are well aware that they will never meet in an actual bout. However, that won't prevent the Russian social media sensation from making a move if their paths ever cross in real life.

During a recent appearance on Russian YouTuber Adam Zubayraev's Hustle Show, Hasbulla opened up about his ongoing feud with McGregor (translated from Russian):

"He [McGregor] loves to hype. He thought he would hype himself up, but he promoted me instead."

The 22-year-old boldly claimed that he would kick the Irishman if they ever encountered each other in real life and took a shot at 'The Notorious' over his alleged substance abuse:

"If we crossed paths, I would kick him in the legs... I'm a man. Why should I run from him?... He's not an athlete anymore. He uses [drugs] there."

McGregor has been sidelined from the octagon for more than three years, ever since enduring a gruesome leg fracture in his trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021.

'The Notorious' was originally scheduled to face Michael Chandler at UFC 303 in June 2024 but was eventually forced to withdraw from the fight due to an injury, leaving his return to combat sports uncertain.

When Alexander Volkanovski took Hasbulla’s side in Conor McGregor's social media feud

In 2022, Conor McGregor, seemingly irritated by Hasbulla's ongoing provocations, unleashed a series of harsh rants on X, attacking the social media influencer's looks, who suffers from Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD) or dwarfism. He posted:

"I’d love to boot that little g*mp Hasbulla over a goalpost."

"How much to get him on the volley?"

'The Notorious' eventually deleted those posts, yet that didn't prevent Alexander Volkanovski from coming to Hasbulla's defense. The former UFC featherweight champion vowed to step in and support Hasbulla:

"You’ll have to go through me first; leave my mate alone, Conor McGregor."
