While The Republic of Dagestan is known for elite wrestlers who have dominated global competition, Shara Magomedov brings his own unique approach.
The success of fighters like Khabib Nurmagomedov, Umar Nurmagomedov, and Islam Makhachev has put the spotlight on Dagestani wrestling, but certain athletes like Magomedov have proven to have a high-level striking ability. And that doesn’t mean the rest can’t strike; it’s just that “Shara Bullet” is just exceptional.
Prior to joining the UFC in 2023, Magomedov accumulated a professional MMA record of 11-0 across multiple organizations. He quickly won three straight to begin his UFC career and is now 14-0 with 11 coming by KO.
