It was only a matter of time before the authorities apprehended the three-foot don himself. And today, we have the distinct displeasure of reporting that Hasbulla Magomedov โ social media sensation and UFC ambassador โ has been arrested in the Republic of Dagestan (Russia).
Before you blindly post #FreeBulla, you might be interested in learning precisely how โMini Khabibโ incurred the full wrath of the law. As per MVD Dagestan (via Red Corner MMA):
โPolice in Dagestan arrested him and some of his friends for violating traffic laws. According to Dagestanโs Internal Affairs, Hasbulla and others drove out into the street and were interfering with other drivers. The entourage was arrested and charged with administrative violations. As Hasbulla and his crew claimed, โThey were celebrating a friendโs wedding.โโ
RELATED: Why Are Blokes So Obsessed With Hasbulla?
As youโll see in the footage provided above, thereโs no denying Hasbulla & Co are indeed guilty of hooning on an open road โ doughnuts in broad daylight and all โ with the high-octane fun eventually coming to an abrupt halt after what appears to be a rather nasty scrape/collision.
Nor can we honestly say this is uncharacteristic behaviour. Young Hasbi, who is actually approaching his 21st birthday, has a well-documented love affair for speeding on four wheels (sometimes two).
โWe decided to hype a little bit. That wonโt happen again, people we apologise. We had to answer for it a little bit. I wasnโt driving either.โ
Hasbulla Magomedovโs Instagram apology (via The Sun)
Currently, itโs unclear whether this hiccup will impact his ongoing five-year contract with the UFC or his standing with President Dana White. But letโs be real here: Hasbulla is hardly the promotionโs first employee to be arrested in public fashion. Just count our blessings it was for something so comparatively tame (although no less obnoxious).
Can Hasbulla drive a car by himself?
Contrary to what the internet will have you believe, while heโs been papped in luxury vehicles ranging from McLarens and Rolls-Royces to the odd BMW, and now arrested for a traffic violation, Hasbulla Magomedov cannot properly drive a vehicle by himself. At least not safely. Keep in mind: doughnuts in an empty lot and sitting on someone elseโs lap donโt count in our books.
In fact, based on our first-hand experience with the great man during last yearโs tour of Australia, Hasbulla canโt even pilot a recreational go-kart independently without extensive modifications: maximum seating inserts, maximum pedal inserts, adjusted steering columnโฆ the works.
Still, that hasnโt precluded him from car ownership. Back in February 2023, for example, Hasbulla attempted to sell a car he actually owned on Instagram: a 2000 model BMW E38 7 Series.
