Popular Russian fighter Sharabutdin Magomedov, who successfully debuted in the UFC last October, talked about when he will return to the octagon and who he would like to see as his next opponent.
“I was supposed to have a fight in Saudi Arabia on March 2, I signed a contract, but for some reason the tournament was postponed,” “Shara Bullet” said in an interview with Channel “Ushataika”. “I was offered to fight in Las Vegas, but I decided to stay in this card. I want to take part in a historic tournament, it’s the first UFC tournament in Saudi Arabia, so I’m aiming for June – I’ll be focused, serious and systematically preparing for that date”
“I would fight anyone who has more or less a name in the UFC. I would like to fight a veteran who has five or more fights in the UFC and who is known to the public. Even top fighters are interested in me – Marvin Vettori, a top-five fighter, challenged me to a fight. I want to fight a name too, and Vettori is one of those names I’d like to fight in the future. Right now he has a fight with Brendan Allen – I’m ready to fight any of them. I’ve never taken the easy way out in my career, and I’m ready to meet any resistance in the cage to get to the top 5 and top 1”
As a reminder, the April 6 fight between Marvin Vettori and Brendan Allen will headline UFC Fight Night 240 in Las Vegas, while the organization’s debut event in Saudi Arabia is scheduled for June 22 and will take place in the capital city of Riyadh.
