Charabutdin Magomedov Nicknamed Shara, Bullet is the best middleweight striker in the UFC, but he has yet to pass the test of top MMA fighters, says RCC fighter Ivan Shtyrkov.
On Saturday in Abu Dhabi during the UFC 308 tournament, Magomedov defeated Armenian Armen Petrosyan by technical knockout in the second round. Magomedov, 30, has fought 15 mixed martial arts fights, winning each of them. This is the Russian’s fourth victory in the UFC.
— In principle, I made my predictions correctly. The only thing is that I thought the fight would be a judges’ decision going to Shara, not a knockout. But here such unexpected people do not often happen – Petrosyan made a mistake. After the first back punch, he moved past the target to attack Shara, who finished with his other hand. Everyone saw it perfectly. Such success is still more a matter of chance than careful calculation, but the strongest are lucky. And so, Shara confidently walked around. Although Petrosyan put Shara to the test in the first round. A top-notch batsman, like I said. But I still think Shara hasn’t passed the test of top MMA fighters yet. In his category there is someone with whom to tinker precisely according to the rules of MMA, and not according to the rules of kickboxing and Thai boxing. Among the strikers, I think he is the best in his division. Their fight, for example, with Adesanya would decorate any tournament. Shara is great, he takes what he deserves,” Shtyrkov told .
