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.

Dana White Speaks: Behind Hasbulla’s Lucrative Deals

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.

While Hasbulla isn’t the conventional UFC figure, he’s managed to stay in the spotlight, albeit with several controversies. As fans eagerly await UFC 294 in Abu Dhabi, many are hoping to see Hasbulla make an appearance. Alongside, there’s anticipation for more merchandise featuring the young influencer. Can online popularity truly equate to a million-dollar UFC contract? In Hasbulla’s case, the answer seems to be a resounding yes.

The anticipation surrounding a potential “super” fight between UFC stalwarts Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou may be premature. Despite both fighters operating under the ESPN umbrella, through Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and Professional Fighter’s League (PFL) respectively, UFC President Dana White remains unconvinced that such a clash would be feasible.

“It Wouldn’t Work” – Dana White Quashes Superfight Speculation

During a recent interaction with Pat McAffee, White dismissed the likelihood of the Heavyweight titans going head-to-head in the octagon. This denial roots itself in a complicated history preventing a match between Jones and Ngannou under the UFC banner. Jones, after relinquishing his Light Heavyweight title and a three-year hiatus from active competition, wanted to step into the Heavyweight realm. However, the UFC’s reluctance to renegotiate obstructed his potential bout with “The Predator”, Ngannou.

Ngannou, dissatisfied with the quantity of his fights and the restrictive terms of his contract, decided to let his contract run out and depart from UFC. Even in his exit, he was willing to negotiate a one-off fight with Jones, an opportunity UFC passed on. Ngannou’s recent retort to White’s comments encapsulates the situation: “No Pat, Jonny was on vacation for 3 years while I sat there waiting.” As the narrative evolves, it seems that we are looking at another legendary fight that, unfortunately, may never see the light of day.
