Russian fighter makes UFC debut Charabutdin Magomedov (Shara Bullet) said in an interview with that he would like to take part in the fight at the UFC 294 tournament with the flag of the Russian Federation.
In Abu Dhabi, Shara Bullet will fight her first fight in the American promotion UFC; the Russian’s current stats are 11 wins and 0 losses. Magomedov competes in the middleweight division and has previously fought in the AMC Fight Nights and RCC promotions.
— The UFC returned the flags to the fighters. You call yourself a pirate. Would you like to be allowed to walk out with a Jolly Roger flag (the UFC only allows entrances and official state flags)?
– Yes, I thought about taking the pirate flag, but for now I hope to take down the Russian flag, because Russia will be offended, I think, if I don’t take it down. I would like to eliminate both the pirates and the Russians. Thanks to Dana White for creating such a policy. And his sport is outside of politics, while others create some problems. Some organizations like Glory or even the IOC have completely excluded Russians; after that, you just don’t want to be involved with them anymore. Glad Dana White has the courage to do what he wants.
— You said that this fight would be revenge for the good Russian men who supported Shlemenko in the fight with your future opponent. Can you separately convey something to the men of Siberia who will support you?
“I want to convey to ordinary good Russian men: I am on the shores of the UFC, as you wanted. Turn on the TV at five o’clock Moscow time, you don’t need to wake up at five in the morning. I hope to achieve a great victory and dedicate it to you. Because before I became popular, many people wrote to me and commented everywhere. Even before all this, I was interesting. “I felt the support of fans from all over Russia, from the CIS countries, I came from the people, I consider myself a people’s champion, I would not have remained of interest to anyone, but the people gave me pushed forward and I became interesting to the audience,” Magomedov told .
