Throughout the years, the UFC has welcomed a multitude of fighters hailing from Russia, ranging from Khamzat Chimaev to the reigning lightweight champion Islam Makhachev and the former champion Khabib Nurmagomedov. The octagon has been illuminated by these Russian talents who’ve not only showcased their skills but also represented their country with immense pride. Joining the ranks of these esteemed fighters, Sharaputdin Magomedov is now set to make his highly anticipated UFC debut, taking on Bruno Silva in Abu Dhabi. Let’s delve into the details of this exciting development.
Sharabutdin Magomedov set for his debut against Bruno Silva
The reports are saying the octagon debut of promising middleweight Sharabutdin is on the horizon, as he gears up to face an experienced adversary at UFC 294. The event is marked for October 21st in Abu Dhabi, and the organizers have impressively populated the fight card with remarkable talent hailing from that region.
According to reporter Laerte Viana, the promotion isn’t handing Magomedov an easy introduction fight. The Russian middleweight will step into the UFC arena against the seasoned middleweight contender Bruno Silva.
There’s been a lot of buzz swirling around Sharaputdin Magomedov, and for good reason. He’s an undefeated middleweight, boasting a pristine 11-0 MMA record. On top of that, he’s taken part in 5 exhibition matches, and guess what? He’s undefeated there too.
Now, what makes his record seriously stand out is that he’s scored knockout or technical knockout victories in 10 of those wins, with just one going the distance and ending in a unanimous decision. Which is indeed impressive stuff.
The upcoming debut of Sharaputdin Magomedov definitely adds an element of intrigue. The question on everyone’s mind is whether he can deliver on the anticipation surrounding his entry into the promotion. If he manages to secure a clear-cut victory in this match against ‘Armored’, whose MMA record stands at 23-9, it will be fascinating to observe how the UFC chooses to advance him.
Notably, ‘Armored’ is seeking a rebound after his previous match, which ended with a first-round submission loss against Brendan Allen. The outcome of this showdown could significantly shape Magomedov’s journey in the promotion.
