Social media star Hasbulla Magomedov, who is also signed to UFC, spoke out after he was arrested for violating traffic laws in his home republic of Dagestan, Russia, on Monday (March 8).
Video of the incident prior to the arrest shows Hasbulla sitting in the passenger seat of a car that was among other people who were seen doing stunts in their cars. It appeared in the video that the car Hasbulla was riding in was wrecked at some point during the incident.
After he was arrested, Hasbulla posted bail and was released. He issued a statement on Instagram that read, "We decided to hype a little bit. That won't happen again, people we apologise. We had to answer for it a little bit. I wasn't driving either."
The authorities in Dagestan also released a statement that read, "Unbridled wedding fun in Dagestan is known to many and far beyond the borders of the republic.
"In the absence of other ways of entertainment, such a primitive option is still extremely popular - blocking roads for other road users, burning rubber, smashing cars against each other and many other features that, in fact, have nothing to do with the celebration.
"All participants of 'wedding emotions', as they themselves call it, were taken to the police, and in relation to them, employees of the State Traffic Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Dagestan drew up administrative protocols for all violations."
