Hasbulla accused of being more disrespectful to women than Andrew Tate for refusing to take pi
Hasbulla has been accused of being ‘more disrespectful to women’ than Andrew Tate by UFC fighter Katlyn Chookagian.
The uber-popular internet star crossed paths with Chookagian when she was fighting at UFC 280, and he was the guest of honour at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi.
Ahead of the event, UFC president Dana White confirmed rumours that Hasbulla had signed with MMA’s premier promotion but said it’s currently unclear if the 19-year-old will actually fight.
Besides bickering with Conor McGregor on social media, Hasbulla is loved by the MMA community and is firm friends with many Russian fighters, including Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev.
However, he made an enemy out of Chookagian when she asked him for a photo, and he turned her down simply because she was a woman.
The 125lb contender told Just Bleed: “I asked him for a picture where it was all fighters, so he knows I’m a fighter. I asked him for a picture, and he literally waved his finger at me and said, ‘Women, no photo.'”
‘Blonde Fighter’ compared Hasbulla’s behaviour to that of Andrew Tate who recently became one of the most talked about people on the planet when TikTok videos of his often-misogynistic views and extravagant lifestyle went viral.
The 36-year-old is not just known for his antics on the internet, and he also has combat sports experience, being a four-time kickboxing world champion, before he retired with a record of 78-9.

Chookagian added: “That seems more disrespectful to women than Andrew Tate saying he thinks women should be, like, protected.”
As well as being rejected by Hasbulla, the 33-year-old saw her four-fight win streak come to an end at UFC 280 as she was outpointed by Manon Fiorot over three rounds.
Chookagian does not currently have a fight booked but will almost certainly be back in title contention next year.
The striking specialist holds several high-profile wins after previously beating Amanda Ribas, Jennifer Maia, Joanne Calderwood, and Lauren Murphy.
