Jon Jones Enjoys Company of Hasbulla

ALF Reality is the ultimate mixed martial arts competition, surpassing The Ultimate Fighter. This Russian version is set in an exotic location, offers high-paying contracts to top coaches, and revels in the drama and intensity of competition, often spilling into physical altercations. One notable addition is Hasbulla, a popular Russian social media personality, who apparently receives a daily pummeling from Jon Jones.

Initially, Jon Jones was seen playfully interacting with Hasbulla, swinging him around and sharing a meal. However, fans are now clamouring for the real deal – Hasbulla's signature sucker punches. Thankfully, new clips are emerging that show the two engaging in more roughhousing, giving fans what they're looking for.

“Oh man, me and Hasbulla have been having a great time,” Jones told Red Corner MMA in a recent interview. “We fight almost every single day, right now I’ve got a bloody lip, he may have kicked me in the mouth. But we have good times.”

As for Jones’ thoughts on Hasbulla’s skills?

“Absolutely very strong, very strong,” Jones said. “And he knows how to fight. Yeah, we have fun.”

While the scenes of fighters engaging in fun and games please the fans too in the end a fighter belongs inside the Octagon, and in the case with Jones, the voices are loud, all asking when he will return to the ring and defend the title against Tom Aspinall.
