Khabib Nurmagomedov: WWE Wants To Bring In Hasbulla

Well at least we now know who Roman Reigns is facing at the Royal Rumble.

It will shock very few to find out that WWE is allegedly making efforts to bring in internet sensation Hasbulla Magomedov, and are supposedly willing to offer a lot of money to make it happen.

According to UFC legend Khabib Nurmagomedov, WWE is keen to have Hasbulla on a show. Speaking during a recent interview, Khabib said:

“Dana White himself called me and asked me where Hasbulla was. He asked me to bring him to Abu Dhabi. WWE, wrestling, also want him to come to them somehow. They want to pay him some big money to get him in the ring. He’s got a lot of popularity abroad.”

Khabib went on to say Hasbulla may need to move to the U.S. to make his fortune.

“We talk about all this stuff with Hasbulla, he [has] to go to [the] U.S. because in [the] U.S., he’s very popular. Like all big celebrities, stars, all big promotions, sports like WWE, NBA, hockey, American football, UFC, all these stars in [those] sports, he’s very popular. They all know him and I think he has to move for a couple years [to] the U.S. and become maybe [a] billionaire, you know? At a minimum, he can become [a] millionaire, you know? And I think he needs to [get] a visa and go to the U.S. This is my advice for him.”
