Making it to the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is an incredible feat on its own. Typically, new fighters commence with a $12,000/$12,000 contract, and the dream of earning $1 million seems distant. However, for the viral internet sensation Hasbulla, the route was different, as seen with his unique UFC signing in September 2022. The shocking decision had fans questioning the move, but it’s undeniably boosting Hasbulla’s bank account.

UFC’s President, Dana White, shed light on his association with Hasbulla during his appearance on Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson. He commented on Hasbulla’s skyrocketing fame, emphasizing that “The Nelk Boys” played a significant role in promoting the 21-year-old, whose dwarfism gives him a childlike appearance. White elaborated, “Hasbulla’s done really well… Just with us and the Nelk Boys he’s made easily over a million bucks.” While UFC might have unconventional ways of promoting its brand, it’s evident that their alliance with Hasbulla has been financially fruitful.

The Alleged Assault: The Story Behind Masvidal-Covington Legal Battle

Masvidal’s alleged attack on Covington outside a Miami steakhouse after their UFC 272 headliner in early 2022 is what led to the current legal proceedings.

Audio Release: New Details Emerge in the Covington Assault Case

Recently, the Real World Police YouTube channel released audio of Covington’s conversation with the police, bringing to light more information about the incident. In the conversation, Covington narrates the events that unfolded on the night of the alleged attack.

Masvidal’s Defense: ‘Allegedly’ Not There

Despite the ongoing legal battle, Masvidal has remained cool-headed saying “he wasn’t even there,” maintaining his innocence. He even went as far as to imply that the incident has inadvertently boosted the popularity of the steakhouse where the alleged assault took place.

The Social Media Factor: The Role of Instagram in the Masvidal-Covington Incident

Interestingly, Instagram has become a crucial factor in the case. Bob Menery, one of the show’s co-hosts, made an Instagram post tagging the steakhouse’s location. This has led to speculation that Masvidal tracked down Covington through this post. The incident allegedly took place shortly after Covington finished a podcast with YouTube pranksters, the Nelk Boys.
