Over the last decade, Russia has produced some extremely sensational MMA world champions, including Islam Makhachev, Khabib Nurmagomedov, and Umar Nurmagomdeov. Following the great champions, the MMA community has critically monitored Russian prospects, leading to a lot of attention for an upcoming promotional newcomer.
One such Russian MMA fighter, also known as ‘Shara Bullet’, Sharabutdin Magomedov, currently competes in the middleweight division for the UFC. He made his MMA debut in December 2017 and hasn’t lost a single fight since then. Moreover, he was also a Muay Thai kickboxer before competing in several fights considered “modified rules bouts”.
Over the year, ‘Bullet’ has fought three times, including two wins against fighters with 20+ fights under the RCC banner. Magomedov, before joining the UFC, last fought against defeating Kushal Vyas by an eight-second knee knockout in December 2022.
Magomedov made his reputation as a popular prospect for several reasons, such as his high-level fighting skills and his unique look due to his right eye. Russia’s MMA fighter generated a good amount of attention from viral videos of him getting into an altercation at a submission grappling competition and allegedly fighting someone in public for PDA with a girl.
Sharabutdin Magomedov’s MMA debut
The 29-year-old Magomedov made his MMA debut on October 21, 2023, against middleweight striker Bruno Silva at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. In his debut, he dismantled Silva with a unanimous decision win.
MMA fans were thrilled to see Magomedov’s undefeated record and exceptional highlight-reel. He was the betting favorite and was given a willing dance partner in Silva. However, he was the showstopper of the fight night.
Sharabutdin Magomedov tried out of his capacity to deliver the best in the first-round knockout stoppage and failed to make it to the hopes of his fans against Silva. He was constant with side kicks, head kicks, front kicks, long punches from range, and knees inside during the few moments of clinch time. The opponent gave a competitive takedown in Round 2 and Round 3, but Magomedov made the fight in his favor with a powerful comeback.
In the final round, it was Magomedov who fulfilled the expectations of his fans over the course and witnessed his very first win with a sensational power show. In the books of the Russian prospect, Magomedov cores his power-packed debut win and entertains his fans at his best.
Magomedov arrested under public violation
It was sometime in June 2022 when Sharabutdin Magomedov was somewhere in a public place using an escalator when he saw a couple getting intimate with each other. Magomedov took it as an offense to the man’s actions, and the argument was initiated. From absolutely nowhere, the argument rose to a point where the man punched Magomedov, and the two got into a huge fight.
The violence continued for almost a minute. However, the brawl didn’t end there, as the man, accompanied by his people, started hitting hard at Magomedov. Further, ‘Shara Bullet’ caught him and tried to trap the punches. He executed a strike all across his face, and that badly floored the man.

Later, Magomedov was apprehended before even reaching an agreement with the man he fought with. Both were charged with hooliganism and public order violations. Later, he stated in an interview that cultural norms must be respected in public. He said, “The situation must be understood, in Mackhchkala there were unwritten laws, a kind of moral code of our own. In Moscow it is common, but for us it is unacceptable. I couldn’t keep quiet”.
However, according to the reports, the superstar is still not married, and he has no personal relationship with anyone. He has not been vocal about his relationship stories, so as of now, it is difficult to speculate about his relationships.
