According to the Russian’s team, former UFC featherweight contender, Zabit Magomedsharipov may be in line for a spectacular return to combat sports as soon as this year — amid long-speculation over the former top contender’s future.
Magomedsharipov, a former top-5 ranked featherweight during his impressive, albeit short stint in the Octagon, departed combat sports amid health issues back in 2021, which would require potential career-threatening surgery to address an immune issue.
And last competing in 2019, Magomedsharipov moved to 6-0 in the Octagon with a three round main event victory over Calvin Kattar in his native Russia.
