UFC lightweight champion has been backed for future middleweight success by Shara Magomedov.
As we know, is the pound-for-pound #1 fighter in the Ultimate Fighting Championship – and perhaps in all of mixed martial arts. He’s already accomplished a great deal in the sport and specifically in the UFC, but of course, he’s hungry for more.
