Social media users have branded Hasbulla a 'smooth criminal' after footage of him giving a fist bump went viral.
Hasbulla, who has a rare growth hormone deficiency, has earned millions of fans across the globe since he began posting on Instagram in 2020. After rising to fame he began to feature frequently on the TikTok page @haymakers, which describes itself as 'The best combat sports page on the internet.'
The internet star, from Dagestan, Russia, mostly posts pranks and mocking videos about MMA, but it was footage of him giving a simple fist bump that earned more than 24 million views when it was posted to @haymakers last year.

Fist bumps arguably rose in popularity after the coronavirus outbreak made handshakes a potentially more dangerous way of greeting people, but it seems that no one can fist bump as well as Hasbulla.
In the clip, the person behind the camera can be seen approaching Hasbulla as he stood beside a waiting car. They stretched out their hand to offer him a fist bump, to which Hasbulla happily obliged. Little did he know that the fist bump came with an added bonus, as the person filming unfolded their hand to reveal it contained money.
Grinning at the notion of having earned himself some easy cash, Hasbulla swiftly took the note and tucked it into his pocket before laughing and seemingly attempting to give it back.
The person behind the camera refused, after which Hasbulla smiled and offered up another fist bump in apparent thanks.
The clip was met with delight by viewers, with one person describing him as a 'smooth criminal' while others dubbed him 'amazing' and 'awesome.'
A third viewer commented: 'Hasbulla happy = everyone happy.'
Hasbulla responded to the wealth of comments, writing: 'Love making you guys happy!!!'
Other videos for which Hasbulla has earned praise in the past include footage of him reenacting Khabib Nurmagomedov's UFC weigh-in, and a clip which saw him trash-talking fellow internet star Abdu Rozik.
Last month, he made headlines for jokingly challenging Logan Paul in 'a fight for [his] NFT', to which Paul responded to acknowledge that he had been 'called out by the king himself'.
Hasbulla has previously engaged in talks with UFC president Dana White, however he has said he and White 'didn't discuss' the possibility of him competing inside the octagon.
