Hasbulla is currently one of the most prominent internet superstars with millions of followers online. The Russian rose to fame through his clips that got viral and were watched by many. On top of it, Hasbulla’s connection with Khabib Nurmagomedov made him popular among UFC fight fans.
Due to his popularity and marketable potential, UFC signed a five-year deal with Hasbulla to be at major UFC PPV events and interact with other superstars. Hasbulla has also been in the corner of the current lightweight champion, Islam Makhachev. Recently, the internet sensation was at the last episode of the ongoing Power Slap League in Las Vegas.
During his visit, he came across a popular Hollywood megastar, Mark Wahlberg. Hasbulla is quite known for striking others randomly with a punch. It is something that he’s been doing for some time now and the fans love seeing him hitting UFC fighters like that. As both of them went face to face, Wahlberg tried his best to prompt Hasbulla to make a move and hit him in the face.
“Slap, slap. C’mon slap.” Others in the background also tried to make Hasbulla do it. One asked him to try a right hook at the actor. However, Hasbulla hesitated to do it and UFC president Dana White just stood there admiring the moment between those two.

He said: “You have these guys who do nothing, know nothing, have never built anything…I mean we had guys writing stories about us saying that, Oh the ratings were terrible on TBS…What the f*** do you people know about ratings?”
White revealed that in the past similar things were said about UFC but that didn’t stop it from becoming what it is now. According to White, he has built strategies to make the Power Slap successful in the future and it will take a little more time.
