Social media superstar Hasbulla smashes burger in UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski’s face after punching NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal

Hasbulla Magomedov is making his presence felt after touching down in Australia and has already linked up with UFC fighter Alexander Volkanovski and NBA icon Shaquille O’Neal.

The 19-year-old from Russia has become a viral sensation over the last year, partly due to his links with MMA fighters such as Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev.

Hasbulla has a genetic disorder that gives him characteristics such as stunted growth and a high voice. Although it has not been officially confirmed, it is believed that he has a form of dwarfism.

The 3ft 4inch superstar was once linked to a fight with fellow social media personality Abdu Rozik, 18, who has a similar growth disorder which is believed to be GHD - Growth Hormone Deficiency.

Any talk of Hasbulla fighting has now died down and he is just enjoying the newfound fame that has taken him all the way to Australia where he will meet some of his fans.

After he arrived down under, Hasbulla linked up with 7ft 1inch basketball legend O’Neal, who posted a video of their meeting to social media, with the caption: "Hasbulla almost knocked me.”

In the video, the teenager taps Shaq on the should before hitting him with a sharp punch to the jaw prompting a chorus of laughs from everyone onboard the speed boat they were sharing.

Soon after testing out O’Neal’s chin, Hasbulla spent some time with the pound-for-pound best fighter in MMA, Volkanovski, and the two men shared a burger.

The notorious prankster tricked Volkanovski into looking into his drink before slamming his burger into the face of ‘The Great’ as a raucous crowd cheered him on.

Volkanovski saw the funny side despite getting chilli in his eyes.

Hasbulla tried to make amends for his prank by using tissues to wipe the face of the UFC champion who couldn’t help but laugh at the situation.

"Cheers Hasbulla," Volkanovski wrote alongside the video on Twitter.
