One young fan found out the hard way that you should never touch Hasbulla. See how he reacted when someone grabbed his face:
The Russian internet sensation is something of an enigma; is he a fighter or is he just having a laugh?

The 19-year-old, who has a genetic condition that stunts his growth, recently announced that he had signed a deal to fight in the UFC, and has, in the past, called out people like Conor McGregor, with the Irishman saying he's keen to spar with the teenager.
Over the past year or so, he's become one of the biggest names in the fight game, though he's yet to get in the ring/octagon.
But he showed recently that he's not to be messed with.
In a video shared on social media, Hasbulla can be seen posing for photos with a huge crowd of fans.
However, one lad then comes out of nowhere and squeezes his cheek - something which didn't go down well with the social media star.

Taken aback by what had just happened, Hasbulla snaps at the lad, saying: "Hey! No!"
Giving a stern look at the fan, Hasbulla wags his finger and gives the mother of all stink eyes before turning back to carry on about his business.
He definitely won't be doing it again if Hasbulla does go on to become a fully fledged UFC fighter.
The teen announced this month that he had signed a long term deal with the promotion company.

Sharing the news on social media, he wrote: "The rumours are true. I have officially signed a deal to fight in the UFC."
He then thanked the UFC, Dana White, former UFC Lightweight Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, and others that had helped his dream become a reality.
White later confirmed his signing, saying: "Yes, we did sign Hasbulla."
The Dagestani teen also added that fans will be able to 'buy a Hasbulla fight kit soon'.
Journalist Igor Lazorin later uploaded a snap of him and Hasbulla, along with the caption: "Hasbulla signed a five year contract with UFC! So far in the plan – attending tournaments, media activity.

"We will not talk about the amounts in detail, but there they are such that many fighters do not get that much. Hasbulla signed a five year contract with UFC! No fights yet, but… "
I guess we'll have to wait to see if anything actually comes of it.
I'll be buying the PPV if it does.
