UFC lightweight Dan Hooker lashes out at Hasbulla for animal abuse
Hasbulla Magomedov, a popular social media personality in Russia, has been accused by his followers of abusing his cat by beating and pulling its ear in a distressing video posted online.
Social media footage of Magomedov, a 20-year-old Dagestani influencer whose dwarfism gives him a juvenile appearance has become a viral sensation. Fans were angered by a video that surfaced again lately showing him being rough with his cat Barsik.
The Russian, who is an official UFC ambassador and is often seen in photos or videos with Dana White, frequently posts clips of his cat on social media. Although he has been shown in numerous photos and videos with animals throughout his career as an influencer, some people feel that his most recent video went too far.
UFC lightweight contender Dan Hooker lashed out at Hasbulla’s actions on Twitter, writing:
“Been waiting, let’s cancel this bullshit cunt.”
As surprising and worrisome as it might sound, several fans took the opportunity to mock Dan Hooker. Hasbulla is close with Islam Makhachev and the Dagestani holds a victory over Hooker. Fight fans brought the loss up in an attempt to pour scorn at Hooker.
One fan wrote:
“It’s just because of this 😂🫵”
Another fan wrote:
““Been waiting” “let’s cancel” bro u sound like a hater and tiktok karen at the same time 😂”
Yet another fan accused Hooker of being Islamophobic:
“Dan Hooker is islamophobic hates little people and racist confirmed”
