Hasbulla Magomedov could have another fight on his hands after his manager revealed that there was a challenger ready to go.
Asxab Tamaev, a Chechen MMA fighter, has been acting as Mini Khabib's manager over the past few weeks, working on a fight with rival Abdu Rozik.

But he has now revealed that there is another fighter waiting in the wings who is ready to go head-to-head with the 18-year-old TikTok star.
Weighing in at 32 kg (70.5 lbs), 'Tain' has been training hard and has called Hasbulla out.
Accompanying a video posted to his YouTube channel, Tamaev's wrote: "Friends, today I interviewed the new fighter, Tain. During the conversation, he challenged Hasbulla and commented on the upcoming fight between Abdurozik and Hasbik.
"Tain is quite confident in his abilities and he is ready to start the press conference right now.
"But this is not surprising, so why be afraid if he can lift his body weight - we have clearly checked this in the gym."

In the video, 'Tain' can be seen working out in the gym, lifting weights, and showing off his boxing skills.
However, before he comes to blows with him, Hasbulla has got to get past Abdu, who it's said he will face in the 'coming days'.
Earlier this week, Tamaev wrote: "Everyone asks when the fight will take place!! Khasbulla and Abdrouzik [sic] needed time to prepare. They are READY. In 3-4 days there will be a BATTLE!"
However, as yet, it doesn't appear to have taken place.

Hasbulla hasn't been lacking in an ambition either, though, and said recently that he has his sights set on a mega-money clash with UFC Conor McGregor.
The teen believes he'd absolutely destroy The Notorious, too, claiming he'd 'punish' the Irishman.
In a skit released by Tamaev, he was asked who he would like to fight between Logan Paul, McGregor, and American mixed martial artist Henry Cejudo.
Hasbulla said: "I want to punish this one [Conor McGregor]. He talks too much."

He was then asked if he'd agree to the fight even though he is significantly smaller than McGregor, Magomedov responded: "Yes, I want to punish him."
Sadly, however, for obvious reasons, it's highly unlikely that this will happen.
Hasbulla is about one metre tall, around three feet and three inches, and weighs in at roughly 15.8 kilograms.
He has a condition that is known as Growth Hormone Deficiency or GHD.

Both he and arch-nemesis Abdu were born with the condition, which affects the pituitary gland - responsible for producing many of the hormones found in the body.
The condition is also sometimes known as pituitary dwarfism, and makes children appear short in stature but with normal body proportions.
It can be present when a child is born, or can develop later on.
