Inside UFC star Conor McGregor and Hasbulla’s bitter feud that was sparked by a CHICKEN
CONOR MCGREGOR and Hasbulla Magomedov have exchanged online blows after the social media sensation named his CHICKEN after the UFC superstar.
Hasbulla, believed to be 19, is a friend of Notorious' arch rival Khabib Nurmagomedov with the pair both from Dagestan.
It is said to be the reason for Hasbulla's initial trolling of McGregor.
He sparked the row by giving his feathered friend the same moniker as the 34-year-old Irishman.
The social media star named his pet cockerel after McGregor in August, which is said to have started the bad blood.
Footage emerged of him filming the pet and saying: "This is my chicken, named Conor McGregor. There's my beauty."

A month later, the former UFC champion called Hasbulla a "little smelly inbred" and vowed to "boot that little gimp over a goal post".
McGregor has taken the insults one step further by posting up a mocked up image of him holding Hasbulla up with one hand.
He posted: "Now what you saying you little gimp."
Earlier this month, Hasbulla was quick to hit back through his NFT page, mocking The Notorious for his losing record in the UFC.

He wrote: "I don't follow bums… didn't know someone was running their mouth."
The 19-year-old added: "At least one of us kept an undefeated record. Hasbulla 1. McGregor 0."
Magomedov is a blogger and TikTok star with a genetic disorder that gives him childlike characteristics such as stunted growth and a high voice.
Although it has not been officially confirmed, it is believed that he has a form of dwarfism.
Hasbulla became a cult hero in the MMA community after several videos of the blogger went viral.
He gained the nickname Mini Khabib after he recreated Khabib Nurmagomedov's iconic UFC weigh-in.
His pre-fight "press conference" with fellow personality Abdu Rozik is one of his most popular videos.
Due to the two men's popularity online, Chechen MMA fighter Asxab Tamaev is reported to be organizing a mixed martial arts fight between them.
