Shara Magomedov scored another finish yesterday (Sat., June 22, 2024) when he viciously knocked out Antonio Trocoli in the third round from inside Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (watch highlights). He scored a Performance of the Night for his knockout.
Immediately after the fight, mega-prospect Bo Nickal called him out on Twitter.
“Give me bullet,” Nickal wrote.

Four minutes after he called out Magomedov, he backtracked by tweeting a lame joke saying he actually meant Valentina “Bullet” Shevchenko.

For Nickal, Magomedov is a picture-perfect matchup for the three-time NCAA Division I national champion because the Russian has shown he has bad takedown defense in his first two UFC fights.
If Nickal decides to abandon wrestling and strike with the one-eyed fighter, that’s a different story.
Nickal (6-0) was last in action against Cody Brundage at the legendary UFC 300, where he strangled him in the second (watch highlights). He has been perfect in UFC thus far.
Meanwhile, Magomedov is 2-0 in UFC.
Someone’s 0 would have to go.
