There was a lot of hype riding behind former UFC contender Zabit Magomedshariov. The explosive and flashy Dagestani fighter was seen as a top prospect at 145 pounds, and at one point, was deemed as a future champion.
But in June, Zabit decided to call it a career at the age of 31. At the time, lingering health issues and the desire to take on a new career path were the key contributors to his decision. But in a recent press conference in Russia, he revealed the “main reason” that led to him hanging up his gloves for good.
