It was a memorable Michael Jackson birthday for UFC newcomer Bilal Hasan!
After making his UFC debut on August 29, Michael Jackson’s birthday, the undefeated fighter celebrated his victory in true MJ fan style. Bilal Hasan defeated Nilson Rojas and, after the fight, the celebrations were far from over.
As Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” played around the arena, Hasan broke into some impressive Michael Jackson-inspired dance moves right there in the Octagon. And to make the moment even better, he even moonwalked his way out of the ring!
The victory was already a special moment for Hasan, who had previously described making his UFC debut on Michael Jackson’s birthday as feeling like a “prophecy.” Clearly a huge fan of the King of Pop, he made sure that Michael was part of his big night, both before and after the fight.
A UFC victory on Michael Jackson’s birthday, some great MJ moves and a moonwalk out of the Octagon… what a way to make a debut!
Congratulations to Bilal Hasan on his win!
