Off the back of his impressive knockout win over Armen Petrosyan at UFC 308, Shara Magomedov has called for a massive title eliminator with former two-time champion, Israel Adesanya next — warning the City Kickboxing staple that ‘The Pirate’ is here to steady the middleweight ship.

Magomedov, who turned in his fourth straight Octagon win over the course of the weekend, landed a spectacular double spinning back-fist knockout win over Armenian striker, Petrosyan — adding to a slew of prior victories over the trio of Antonio Trocoli, Michal Oleksiejczuk, and Bruno Silva.
