Russian ASA League Fighter Adam Bogatyrev spoke to about the features of the style Sharabutdin Magomedova who will fight Armen Petrosyan at the UFC 308 tournament in Abu Dhabi.
Magomedov, known as Shara Bullet, will face Petrosyan on October 26. Magomedov made his UFC debut in October 2023 and has become one of the promotion’s most popular Russian fighters. He has no defeats in his professional career.
— It may seem like you have similar styles with Shara: you both throw a lot of punches, often kicks. It seems that when people fight like this, they have no battle plan.
“Shara kicks and fights freely, but she does it much better than me. I like this comparison. I think he has a plan, but his plan is just to land as many hard blows as possible. That is, he goes out and acts in such a way that there is no difference from one fight to the next.
— There are fights where Sharabutdin throws a lot of low kicks, but his opponents continue to fight. A person who watches the fight from the outside may think that receiving such blows is not so painful. Can you explain why his low kicks are effective in this case?
— Low kicks are something you don’t feel during a fight. For example, I fought with Kirill Kornilov and during the fight I did not feel his blows. And even on the second day I didn’t feel it. But then the feeling came. Or in my debut, in the fight with Grigor Matevosyan: he hit me with low blows and there seemed to be no problem. I missed 20 shots and felt no pain. Then we drove by car from Krasnodar to Ingushetia. I got off at a gas station near Nalchik and fell because my leg was no longer supporting me. And as for Shara: any blow, even a blow, brings you out of your thoughts, stops you. With each strike, it’s as if a countdown begins for you and you have to wait again for the moment to strike. This is the effect of low kicks,” Bogatyrev told .
