Dana White has ruled out inviting Hasbulla to fight for Power Slap.
On Thursday, the UFC boss hosted his latest slap fighting show in Abu Dhabi and it featured Paige VanZant and a super-heavyweight fight between two men who weigh just under 800lb combined.
However, during the Power Slap 9 post-event press conference talk turned to a fight between two much smaller men who have been beefing for years.
The 55-year-old shut down a reporter after he asked if the MMA mogul would make a slap fighting match between social media stars Hasbulla and Abdu Rozik.

Dana White shuts down Hasbulla-Power Slap talk
Hasbulla is a massive internet celebrity who has been diagnosed with a rare type of dwarfism caused by a growth hormone deficiency.
The 3ft 4in Russian first found fame when he clashed with Rozik, who is 3ft 1in due to rickets, a skeletal disorder that results in soft and weak bones due to a vitamin D deficiency.
Hasbulla and his nemesis came together for a mock fight press conference that attracted millions of views, propelling both men from obscurity to superstardom.
Since then, Hasbulla has become close friends with UFC stars Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev, who he often supports from cageside when the lightweight champion fights.
Hasbulla signed a five-year UFC deal in 2022, and White is happy to have the youngster at his events, but he draws the line at making a fight between Hasbulla and Rozik.
“Do we really want to see those two fight? I mean, come on,” White replied when a reporter asked if he would make the highly anticipated matchup happen on Power Slap.
Assembled media members didn’t seem opposed to the idea, so White hit them all with an explicit insult before categorically ruling out ever being involved in a Hasbulla vs Rozik fight.
He added: “You are all sick f***ing individuals, every one of you in this room.
“No, sir! This answer is no, I would not make those guys fight.”
Paige VanZant’s Power Slap return ends in shock result
Paige VanZant made her name in MMA with the UFC, but since leaving the company in 2020 she’s competed in bare-knuckle boxing, boxing, and slap fighting as she continues to prove she’s a woman with many talents.
In June, ’12 Gauge’ accepted White’s offer to compete in slap fighting for his Power Slap promotion, where she outpointed Christine Wolmarans to snap her five-year winless run in combat sports.
However, she couldn’t keep her winning run going against Chelsea Dodson at Power Slap 9.
The wife of former UFC flyweight contender John Dodson is a newcomer to professional combat sports, but she does have experience in both wrestling and jiu-jitsu.
VanZant and Dodson traded blows for three rounds before their fight was decided by the scorecards.
The former UFC star would’ve won by decision, but VanZant was deducted a point in round two for ‘clubbing’ and that ultimately led to her sophomore slap fighting contest being declared a draw.
VanZant recently revealed she’s unlikely to return to MMA. So, fans of the American will have to tune in to Power Slap if they want to keep following her fight career.
