Sharabutdin Magomedovich Magomedov (Russian: Шарабутдин Магомедович Магомедов; born 16 May 1994) is a Russian professional mixed martial artist and Muay Thai kickboxer. He competes in the Middleweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).[2]
Background
[edit]Sharabutdin Magomedov was born in Dagestan, Russia, in 1994. Football was the first sport he ever played, but he was ultimately kicked off his team after an argument. This led him to venture into martial arts.[3]
Magomedov started his combat sports career with boxing, where he had considerable success. After relocating to Moscow, he switched to Muay Thai, where he flourished and won the Russian championship.[4]
He suffered an injury to his right eye in 2016, and due to a lack of care, the condition worsened and required eight surgeries over the course of roughly a year and a half.[5]
Shopping center attack
[edit]Magomedov was involved in an assault at a shopping center on March 15, 2022, in Dagestan. Magomedov, who took offense to a man and woman kissing in front of him on an escalator, proceeded to assault the man. Bystanders separated them, and Magomedov walked out to an exit. The second altercation captured on camera showed Magomedov waiting for the man at the exit, where he punched him and stomped on his head. The criminal charges are still being decided by the courts.[6] Under these circumstances, his contract with the UFC ended up being postponed.[7]
Mixed martial arts career
[edit]Early career
[edit]Despite his success in Muay Thai, his low pay and mounting debts made it difficult for him to find training facilities, prompting him to cross over to MMA.[4]
He fought in Asian organizations such as "Chin Woo Men" and "The King Fighting Championship" (both from China), accumulating a record of 11-0 before making his debut in the UFC.[8]
Ultimate Fighting Championship
[edit]Magomedov made his UFC debut against Bruno Silva, on October 21, 2023, at UFC 294. [9] He won the fight via unanimous decision. [10]
Magomedov was scheduled to face Ihor Potieria on June 22, 2024, at UFC on ABC 6.[11] However, Potieria was pulled in order to face Michel Pereira at UFC 301.[12] Magomedov was then rescheduled to face promotional newcomer Joilton Lutterbach at UFC on ABC 6.[13] In turn, Lutterbach withdrew from the bout due to testing positive for a banned substance and was replaced by Antonio Trócoli.[14] In the second round of the bout (scheduled for three rounds).[15] This fight earned him a Performance of the Night award.[16]
Magomedov faced Michał Oleksiejczuk on August 3, 2024 at UFC on ABC 7.[17] He won the fight by unanimous decision.[18] This fight earned him a Fight of the Night award.[19]
