Conor McGregor blasts Hasbulla in brutal attack as fight rumours grow

Conor McGregor has had another strange social media rant - where he threatened to kick internet sensation Hasbulla "over a goal post.

The 'Notorious' also labelled him as a "smelly inbred" and "hon the GAA" during the bizarre tweeting session.

It is not clear what inspired McGregor, 34, to go on the since-deleted tirade, but it is know that Hasbulla is pals with Khabib Nurmagomedov - and recently named his pet chicken after McGregor.

And that could have been the catalyst for McGregor to fume: " I’d love to boot that little g**p Hasbulla over a goal post. How much to get him on the volley? I’m gonna make it my mission to score a three pointer with him one day, hon the GAA,"

The UFC star then went a step further by labelling Hasbulla a "little smelly inbred" before deleting all of the tweets.

It didn't take long for the 19-year-old to fire back at McGregor, writing: "I don’t follow bums… didn’t know someone was running their mouth, @ me next time". Hasbulla then mocked McGregor's record whilst labelling himself "undefeated", before challenging the Irishman to meet him at UFC 280 in October.

"I have my UFC contract now, if Conor McGregor is really a man… see me in Abu Dhabi. Got smashed by Khabib already. Guess his money from Mayweather ran out and he needs more attention".

Hasbulla became an internet star two years ago when he posted videos of himself to TikTok doing dares and stunts. Videos of the Russian have amassed over two billion views and he has over three million followers on Instagram.

Now, Paddy Power have slashed odds on the two settling their differences in the octagon down to 16/1.

Paddy Power, a spokesperson for Paddy Power, said “With Hasbulla having signed a deal with the UFC a fight between the two mightn’t be beyond the realms of possibility.

"Obviously, it would be hard to look past McGregor but with the pint-sized pugilist already having laid out the likes of Shaq and Daniel Cormier he might just spring a surprise.”
