Hasbulla has become a prominent figure in the MMA world, not as a fighter, but as a viral sensation. He shot to internet fame thanks to his hilarious collaborations with celebrities, especially those in the combat sports scene. At this point, it feels like almost every fighter has filmed a funny video with the 3’4″ internet star. But despite his childlike appearance, many people don’t realize that Hasbulla is a 22-year-old man, born in 2002.
Hasbulla’s dwarfism has fooled a lot of people over the years, and even a heavyweight boxing legend wasn’t immune. In an episode of the Hotboxin’ podcast, Hasbulla was seen playfully throwing punches at Mike Tyson. The former champ responded like he was dealing with a toddler; he picked Hasbulla up, cradled him, and even jokingly tried to bite his ear. But later, Tyson was stunned to learn that Hasbulla was actually over 20 years old.
It looks like even the current UFC heavyweight champ, Jon Jones, hasn’t fully realized that Hasbulla isn’t actually a kid. In a recent Instagram video, Jones was seen picking up the internet sensation and cradling him like a child. The post was captioned, “I told @hasbulla.hushetskiy it’s time to go home and as you can see he was very upset #brothers.”
The caption didn’t give away much, but it’s pretty clear that Hasbulla was having a blast hanging out with the UFC heavyweight champion. And just like a kid who doesn’t want the fun to end, he clearly wasn’t ready to head back home. The whole vibe of the post added to the ongoing theme Hasbulla often comes off like a playful child, even though he’s a grown man.
