Shara Magomedov

Shara Magomedov is a Dagestani middleweight, nicknamed 'Bullet' for his one-punch power, who built his game around kickboxing rather than the wrestling more commonly associated with fighters from the region. Twelve of his 17 professional wins have come by knockout, including UFC finishes of Antonio Trocoli and Armen Petrosyan, and he carried an undefeated record into the Octagon before Michael 'Venom' Page handed him his only loss by decision in February 2025. He answered that setback with unanimous-decision wins over Marc-Andre Barriault and, in June 2026, an entertaining Michel Pereira at UFC Baku, going the distance in back-to-back fights for the first time in his career. He trains with GOR MMA out of Makhachkala.
