Russian UFC fighter Charabutdin Magomedov known as Shara Bullet, in a conversation with , spoke about the possibility of performing in the United States, despite a partial loss of vision.
The Russian fighter made his UFC debut in October 2023 and won two fights against Bruno Silva and Antonio Trocoli at tournaments in Abu Dhabi and Saudi Arabia. Prior to his MMA debut, Magomedov, 30, underwent multiple eyeball surgeries, which led the middleweight to partially lose his vision.
— At the last press conference, Dana White said that you probably won’t be able to fight in the United States because of vision problems. Is that true?
– I can fight in America. Is it just necessary at the moment? In some states, as I was told, everything will have to be discussed and agreed in advance. However, I have no special problems. Even when I was on the set of the film, I was thinking about a small fight here somewhere. But all the upcoming tournaments were scheduled, and then I was offered to perform in Abu Dhabi. I was delighted with this opportunity, and immediately, one might say, I flew off the set to take advantage of this opportunity.
There are many tournaments outside America, and Abu Dhabi is one of those places… a neutral place where people from all countries can fly, relax, have fun with a tournament and feel the emotions of fights. And another advantage is that the Emirates is closer to us in terms of time zone, to our audience, it will be convenient for fans to watch. One more thing: my seconds do not have visas, this also poses problems. So when there are important fights that cannot be avoided, I will probably fly to America and fight,” Magomedov told .
