Fans never expected UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Alex Pereira and the internet sensation Hasbulla to have a collaboration. But it is what it is.
Hasbulla and Alex Peirera are likely to have a ‘fight’
They joined forces for an amusing skit which has surfaced Twitter/X. The skit is quite short and features Pereira calling Hasbulla to challenge him to a fight to determine who the true champion is.
It can be seen that Hasbulla accepted after rejecting calls from Pereira multiple times. After a brief training compilation, they depart their homes for the fight. However, the clip ended in a cliffhanger, possibly indicating another video clip releasing soon.
A clip of the skit was shared on X (formerly Twitter) and the fans were certainly surprised to see both Pereira and Hasbulla for a collaboration.

In the past, Hasbulla has collaborated with a UFC champion on a skit and it was with none other than the UFC Featherweight Champ Alexander Volkanovski. That sketch saw both men jokingly get into a scuffle, with Hasbulla emerging victorious.
Tom Aspinall comments on potential fight against Alex Pereira at UFC 300
Recently, Tom Aspinall made it clear that he’s still interested in competing at UFC 300 event. Speaking on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani he said that previously discussed fights against the likes of Alex Pereira are off the table.
“I told the UFC, if you want me to be ready, I’m going to be ready for the card.” Tom Aspinall stated on The MMA Hour alongside Ariel Helwani earlier today. “They offered me Stipe, I was like, of course. Of course. Then it came back an hour later, that Stipe just wanted to fight Jones. Then, there was talks about Alex Pereira moving up to heavyweight. As I said mate, I’m not the type of guy to start turning down fights, I’ve never turned down a fight in my life.”
He continued, “I’m not going to start now, you know what I mean? I’m not intending on starting now. When I started hearing rumors of that, me and Alex started doing a little bit of online flirting back and forward. But we have a couple of mutual friends, and it’s come to light that Alex isn’t going to move up to heavyweight yet… Fair play, I’m not going to push for that anymore.”
We will have to wait and see if they face off at a latter date.
