Shara Bullet will make her UFC debut wearing the flag of Russia

This weekend, Russian fans can expect to see the Russian flag in the octagon as early as the first fight of UFC 294 in Abu Dhabi.

Russian UFC debutant Sharabutdin Magomedov, who opens the preliminary card of the event, has announced his intention to bring the national tricolor into the cage.

“I was thinking of taking the pirate flag, but I hope to take out the Russian flag as well, because Russia will take offense at me if I don’t take out the Russian flag,” “Shara Bullet” said in an interview with the Vadim Tikhomirov. “I hope to take out both the Russian and pirate flag, and thank Dana White for the fact that the sport is out of politics. In the UFC, Russians don’t get in trouble like in other organizations”

“In some organizations it shows up and you don’t even want to mess with them. Some, such as Glory, have excluded Russian fighters altogether, and the Olympic Committee is creating problems for Russian athletes. I’m very glad that Dana White has such a policy. He has the courage to do what he wants”

Two weeks earlier, the head of the UFC, Dana White, lifted the ban on displaying state flags, which was imposed with the start of Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine.

Recall that the opponent of the Russian middleweight in the first fight under the UFC banner will be Brazilian Bruno Silva, who once held the M-1 middleweight title.
