Mohammad Mokaev is no longer the youngest person under a UFC contract as Hasbulla Hushetskiy, the 19-year old is about to take that title from him. Do not worry as the Russian internet sensation is in no way going to step foot into the Octagon for his safety and that of the fighters.
Hasbulla has signed on with the UFC as an ambassador to the sport in light of the upcoming UFC 280 PPV. The internet phenomenon who took the world by storm in 2021 is all set to give back to the sport that started it all for him.
For those unaware, Hasbulla found his first taste of fame when he punched one of Eagle’s MMA’s fighters. In the clip he can be seen running away after evading between others legs. Back then everyone assumed that it was a child doing all these things.
It came as a surprise to many that Hushetshkiy was in fact a full grown 18-year-old that suffered from growth hormone deficiency and dwarfism leaving him with a unique look that makes him seem like a child with the mannerisms of an adult.

Hasbulla Hushetskiy notably attended the UFC event in Abu Dhabi last year that was headline by a Light heavyweight title fight between Jan Blachowicz and Glover Teixeira. While there he punched multiple former champions including big Nog and DC and also had a private meeting with Dana White.
Later on in the night, he was also in the corner of Islam Makhachev and even was inside the cage after he made quick work of Dan Hooker, who had Hasbulla’s long-standing rival, Abdu Rozik by his side.
Recently MMA Reporter, Igor Lazorin had a chat with the internet sensation where he revealed that Hasbulla had in fact signed as an ambassador to the UFC. While the financial details are still obscure he was told Hasbulla was getting paid, “more than some fighters”
“This is a blast from the face! Hasbulla Hushetskiy signed a five year contract with UFC! So far in the plan – attending tournaments, media activity. We will not talk about the amounts in detail, but there they are such that many fighters do not get that much, “ read his Instagram post.
Hasbulla has been performing the same role under Khabib’s Eagle FC where he gave his first press conference among many other things.
Notably, Hasbulla Hushetskiy made headlines again when he got into a feud with Conor McGregor, an encounter sure to be awkward when the Irishman finally returns to the sport.
