UFC fighter Shara Bullet: “I was a CSKA fan when Jo and Vagner Love were there”

Russian UFC fighter Charabutdin Magomedov known as Shara Bullet, told which football teams he supported as a child and why he later stopped playing the sport.

Magomedov, 30, who competes in the UFC middleweight division, will fight alongside Joylton Lutterbach in Saudi Arabia. Before taking up boxing and mixed martial arts, Magomedov was a football goalkeeper in one of the children’s amateur teams of the Republic of Dagestan.

— Have you been a football goalkeeper and watched at least one European Championship match in progress?

— It’s probably been 10 years since I graduated. So Anzhi flew everywhere and I stopped looking. At one point, I was a big fan of Anzhi, right from my childhood, when I was still a kid. I tried to attend all the matches. And then, when this club was looted, it became disgusting. I got exhausted and stopped getting sick.

I was a CSKA fan when Jo and Vagner Love were still there, when they won the UEFA Cup. At that time, I followed and bought all the magazines. Transfers, news followed everything that was interesting. And now everything is fried, I don’t even know which players are playing where.

– Oliver Kahn, Gianluigi Buffon and Thibaut Courtois – who would you choose to speak and train with?

—Olivier Kahn. He has always been my favorite player. My brother supported Buffon and we looked at their competitors, but I was always for Kahn,” Magomedov told .
