Veteran cfu Russian Zabit Magomedcharipov said he did not succumb to the promotion’s persuasion to return to the octagon, even despite being offered a title fight.
– Yes, there was such an offer (about the UFC title fight) – I refused. I probably won’t be back. There were a lot of reasons to end a career, there is no main one,” Magomedsharipov said in an interview with YouTube channel URF MEDIA.
Magomedsharipov, 32, had his last fight against American Calvin Kattar in November 2019 at UFC Fight Night 163. The Russian won via unanimous decision. In June 2022, he notifies the promotion of his retirement.
Magomedsharipov is a four-time Russian champion, European champion and World Cup winner in wushu sanda. During his career in mixed martial arts, the fighter has won 18 times with one loss.
