President of AMC Fight Nights Kamil Gadzhiev commented on the news that Russian fighter Sharabutdin Magomedov, announced last year as a contender for the AMC Fight Nights middleweight championship belt, will continue his professional career in the UFC.
“I wanted this, and at the same time I didn’t believe in it, because Shara has a certain defect, and I kept thinking that he would not pass the commission,” Gadzhiev said in another video posted on his YouTube channel. “But Ali Abdelaziz and Rizvan Magomedov know their business well, I’m sure they consulted, and therefore Shara is in the UFC. And do you know how it will end? I think it will end in a title fight.”
“By the end of 2023, I’m looking forward to the fight with Adesanya, and if I win over Adesanya, I’m looking forward to the fight with Pereira. Are they stronger than Shara? No. It’s just more experienced, we’ve seen more big fights, but in a year Shara will gain a lot, and keep going!”
28-year-old Sharabutdin Magomedov was supposed to be the next opponent of Vladimir Mineev, however, due to the upcoming departure of the reigning AMC Fight Nights champion to the CBO zone, the title fight was postponed indefinitely.
According to available information, the debut of the Russian in the UFC is scheduled for May-June this year.
