The first time people caught a glimpse of Hasbulla Magomedov, the only question that ran in their minds was – ‘How old is the little man?’
Hasbulla Magomedov has taken the Internet by storm with his peculiar stature as well as his nuttiness.
The TikToker/Blogger from Russia is affectionately called ‘Mini Khabib’ after he recreated UFC Legend Khabib Nurmagomedov’s UFC 229 walkout. Like Khabib, Hasbulla is also from the Republic of Dagestan.
In the walkout video he recreated, Hasbulla impersonated Khabib so well, right from his walking style to his trademark pointing to the sky.
Since then, he has caught up with Khabib himself several times. He has also been seen with many other celebrities like Mike Tyson, Kamaru Usman, Francis Ngannou and more.
Hasbulla’s popularity has grown in leaps and bounds in recent years. However, his official Instagram ID goes on and off, with a ton of fake accounts floating as well.
Hasbulla was once gearing up for his fight against fellow social media star from Tajikistan, Abdu Rozik. Rozik is a singer and is considered to be the smallest singer in the world.
The pair were expected to fight, with a delay back then due to opposition from the Russian Dwarf Athletic Association, after they deemed it cruel to have such people fight for the sake of entertainment.
Hasbulla’s manager Tamaev is massively Internet-famous as well. He has almost 3 million subscribers on YouTube and more than 5 million followers on Instagram.
People often mistake Hasbulla to be a child due to his short stature (100cm). So what really is the Russian Internet sensation’s age and what disease does he suffer from?
Hasbulla is an adult. He is 20 years old and was born in the year 2003. It is his child-like voice and height that cause people to consider him a kid.
Despite the fact that he is a 20-year old, Hasbulla never really looks like one. He has the voice of a 4-year-old child and is just over 3 feet in height.
The reason behind Hasbulla’s unusual physical characteristics is the fact that he suffers from a condition called Growth Hormone Deficiency, also known as Pituitary Dwarfism or simply Dwarfism.
GHD is caused due to an insufficient amount of growth hormones. A famous example is the legendary footballer Lionel Messi. Messi was diagnosed with Growth Hormone Deficiency when he was a child.
Given his unbelievable talent, he was treated with injections of human growth hormones. Today he stands 170cm tall, significantly more than what is referred to as ‘short’.
Habulla ‘Hasbik’ Magomedov is 20 years old.
Hasbulla is small because he suffers from Growth Hormone Deficiency.
No, Hasbulla is not a kid. In fact, he is 20 years old.
GHD is Growth Hormone Deficiency or dwarfism, which is a condition caused by an insufficient amount of growth hormones.
