Hasbulla Magomedov and Abdu Rozik are the two top sensations of the combat sports community at the moment. The two are slated to have their much anticipated MMA fight which is heavily hyped among the fanbase.
Currently, the biggest sensation in the mixed martial arts fandom, 18-year-old Dagestani social media icon Hasbulla Magomedov is well known for the cordial relation he shares with former UFC Lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.
From his nickname “Mini Khabib” to his impersonations of the undefeated MMA legend, Khabib, and Hasbulla’s bond is something all MMA fans cherish, and not only that, “The Eagle” is even seen taking a stance for Hasbulla, who is recently involved in a scuffle against former UFC double champion Henry Cejudo.

While Hasbulla is making his ties stronger with Khabib, Abdu Rozik has not been sitting idle either. The fellow 18-year-old internet icon, who is famous in his home country of Kazakhstan for creating rap music in his native language, has been seen in one frame with the legendary football superstar and Liverpool FC stalwart Mohammed Salah.
Last Saturday, Rozik posted a photo of himself with Salah on his official Instagram handle, which has garnered over 93K likes at the moment. In the caption, Rozik wrote,“Did you recognize this legend?” a question for his followers, and then tagged Salah’s account and added, “Glad to meet you brother.”
Rozik and Salah are seen together in the photo which appears to be inside a dining lounge. Later, it was revealed that their pair met at the Sheikh Hasher Al Makhtoum Palace, which is owned by the ruler of Dubai and both of them are currently staying there for the holidays.
While Hasbulla and Rozik have been climbing their online fame in the past few weeks, little progress was made on when and where the actual fight was going to take place, or whether the fight would even take place because it was drawing criticism from many.
Asxab Tamaev, also known as the ‘Russian KGB Hulk’, took the helm to promote the fight and has been the primary reason behind Hasbulla’s skyrocketing popularity, with often sharing clips about the 18-year-old Dagestani’s daily life that do numbers on the internet.
However, there are several criticisms being drawn on the legitimacy or the ethics of the fight, as both teenagers suffer from Dwarfism or Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD).
Earlier, the chief of Russia’s Dwarf Athletic Association Uliana Podpalnaya showed his dissatisfaction over the Hasbullah vs Rozik fight being organized in the first place, tagging the fight as “unethical”.
