Hasbulla challenges Conor McGregor over ‘smelly inbred’ abuse
Mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor insulted Hasbulla, the dwarf who has caused a stir on social media in recent months.
Conor McGregor has not fought since July of last year when he was defeated by the American Dustin Poirier, however, he continues to make noise across social media with controversial comments to stoke attention. Something he gets.
The Irish fighter caused his latest stir on Wednesday night, after a series of tweets insulting Hasbulla Magomedov, the young 99cm-tall Russian, who is currently a sensation on various platforms.

What did McGregor say about Hasbulla?
McGregor tweeted: ‘I’d love to boot that little gimp Hasbulla over a goal post.’ This was quickly followed by, ‘How much to get him on the volley?’
More abuse came.
‘Little smelly inbred. I’m gonna make it my mission to score a 3 pointer with him one day, hon the gaa,’ the last three words a reference to Ireland’s Gaelic Athletic Association.
Shortly afterwards the tweets were deleted from the Irishman’s Twitter account, but they’d obviously been picked up.
It’s worth noting that today, the word “midget” and other terms are considered derogatory slurs. The dwarfism community has voiced that they prefer to be referred to as dwarfs, little people, people of short stature or having dwarfism, or simply, and most preferably, by their given name.
Hasbulla calls out McGregor
The young Russian fighter, who has caused a stir amassing followers on Twitter and more than three million on Instagram, didn’t stay quiet for long after the words written on McGregor’s account and responded to the Irishman.
“I have my UFC contract now. If @TheNotoriousMMA [McGregor’s handle] is really a man... see me in Abu Dhabi,” the 19-year-old began on Twitter.
“Got smashed by @TeamKhabib [Nurmagomedov] already. Guess his money from Mayweather ran out and he needs more attention.”
Hasbulla also called McGregor a “bum.” The young man has caused such a furore that celebrities such as Shaquille O’Neal, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Dana White, among others have been with him.
