Hasbulla 'rocks' Daniel Cormier with punch in hilarious exchange ahead of UFC 294

Hasbulla Magomedov shared a hilarious exchange with MMA legend Daniel Cormier ahead of this weekend's huge UFC 294.

A UFC lightweight championship bout between Islam Makhachev and Alexander Volkanovski and a UFC middleweight clash between Kamaru Usman and Khamzat Chimaev top a stacked card from Abu Dhabi on Saturday.

Volkanovski will get a second shot at Makhachev, having lost a narrow decision at UFC 284 earlier this year.

Chimaev, who will now represent a new nation, will return to action for first time since September 2022 as he welcomes former UFC welterweight king Usman to the 185lbs division.
