Hasbulla Magomedov, the online sensation, was detained in Dagestan over the weekend for irresponsible driving during a friend’s wedding celebration.
While attending a wedding in Dagestan, Hasbulla and his friends’ revelry escalated on the streets. Red Corner MMA reported that Hasbulla “disrupted other drivers” and was taken into custody for multiple traffic offences.
At the time of writing, it is unclear whether Hasbulla and his friends remain in police custody or have been released.
Hasbulla gained popularity on TikTok and other social media platforms for his diverse MMA-related content, which features pranks, reenactments, and fight parodies.
Last year, Hasbulla and the UFC entered into a confidential partnership. Although the agreement’s specifics remain undisclosed, it is believed to involve merchandising and other promotional opportunities.
Hasbulla has attended several UFC events, including UFC 280 in Abu Dhabi last year, and enjoys close relationships with UFC Lightweight Islam Makhachev and UFC Hall of Famer Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Longtime fans of Hasbulla are no strangers to his penchant for mischief, but it seems that his antics have landed him in legal trouble in Dagestan.
Following Hasbulla’s detainment in Dagestan, many fans and followers have expressed concern and curiosity about the situation on social media. The hashtag #FreeHasbulla began trending on Twitter, with people offering support and demanding his release.
The authorities in Dagestan have not yet released an official statement regarding Hasbulla’s arrest or potential charges. However, further information is expected to become available in the coming days.
Hasbulla’s management team has also been tight-lipped about the incident, and no statements have been made to address the situation publicly. The same can be said for the UFC, which has yet to comment on Hasbulla’s arrest and its potential impact on their partnership.
While some fans express their support, others are critical of Hasbulla’s actions and believe he should face the consequences of his reckless behaviour. This incident has sparked a lively debate about the responsibilities and expectations placed upon internet celebrities and athletes.
As Hasbulla’s legal troubles unfold in Dagestan, it remains to be seen how this incident will affect his career and partnership with the UFC. Many are waiting to see if he will be held accountable for his actions or if his fame and connections will shield him from significant consequences.
