Magomedov has enjoyed a strong summer inside the cage, building on his successful UFC debut last October with a further two victories in the Middle East, both of which netted him an additional $50,000.
After stopping replacement opponent Antonio Trócoli in Saudi Arabia this past June, the undefeated “Bullet” returned for a short-notice co-headliner against Micha? Oleksiejczuk at this past weekend’s UFC Fight Night in Abu Dhabi.
The 30-year-old Dagestani’s usual array of striking weapons were on display across three rounds, as he outpointed his Polish opponent on all three scorecards in the event’s Fight of the Night.
Although that might be the case currently, Sonnen isn’t counting out Magomedov when it comes to rounding out his skillset in the coming months and years.
Sonnen: Magomedov Belongs ‘In Big Fights’ & ‘On Posters’
“The American Gangster” had plenty of praise for Magomedov’s aura and watchability but admitted he doesn’t see a prospect with the kind of skillset boasted by some others.
That, however, is something he is confident can be rectified moving forward, pointing to the evolution of previously one-dimensional athletes such as Israel Adesanya as evidence that a well-rounded arsenal could be to come for Magomedov.
“When he comes on TV, there’s something happening. … He captivates me,” Sonnen said. “This guy is already a co-main event. That is an incredible career. He’s amassing a great record — because I’m not seeing all the skills there. In all fairness, I don’t watch him and go, ‘Wow, where has this guy been?’ I think that Bo Nickal would be the counterpart to that, where you watch him and go, ‘Wow, this guy sure looks well rounded. He sure appears to have a little bit of everything for being a new guy on the scene.’ I’m not seeing it with (Magomedov).
“When I look at ‘Bullet,’ he belongs in big fights. There’s something special. He belongs on posters. I’m interested. I want to see this guy, I want to hear from this guy, and I want to learn from this guy,” Sonnen continued. “As far as the skills, I think he’s learning on the job, and he’s not the first guy that’s had to. Israel Adesanya’s about a complete fighter as you’re gonna find; he wasn’t on day one. … So if ‘Bullet’ is open to learning, if he can absorb and if he can take the criticism that we’re giving him right now, he’s gonna have a fun future.”
In addition to some doubting his overall skillset, Magomedov also came under criticism for his post-fight callout in Abu Dhabi this weekend. The undefeated Russian had the name of Nick Diaz on his lips, who hasn’t recorded a win since 2011 and was most recently defeated by Robbie Lawler in 2021.
Regardless, “Bullet” has done what is required of him inside the Octagon to date, and he’ll hope to continue that trend against whomever the promotion places opposite him next time out.

Shara Magomedov revealed he fought out his contract at UFC Abu Dhabi on Saturday.
Magomedov picked up a decision win over Michal Oleksiejczuk to improve to 3-0 in the UFC. Although the Russian is undefeated in the UFC and as a pro, he is now a free agent and he says he is worried about his future after seeing the UFC part ways with undefeated fighter Muhammad Mokaev.
“I’ve just had my last fight under my current contract. Now I am hoping to get a new one. But after the Mokaev case, yes I am kind of nervous,” Shara Magomedov said, via Sportskeeda. “As a matter of fact it is true, my managers, Ali Abdelaziz, and Rizvan Magomedov, they are top-notch managers so I trust them in all respects and I do not worry at all.”
If the UFC opted to not re-sign Magomedov, it would be a bit of a surprise, as he appears to be a fan favorite and has some star potential. But, as Magomedov says, after the Mokaev situation, the UFC has shown they will move on from anyone, despite their record.
Shara Magomedov called out Nick Diaz after win
Following Shara Magomedov’s decision win over Michal Oleksiejczuk at UFC Abu Dhabi, he called out Nick Diaz.
It was a bit of a surprise that Magomedov would call out Diaz but at the post-fight press conference, he opened up on the callout.
“He was supposed to be here, he was supposed to fight in the co-main event,” Magomedov said (via MMAJunkie). “Instead, I substituted him, he wasn’t able to fight. I think it’s not just for nothing, there’s a reason for that. I think I’d be honored to fight someone like him. I want to show that if I beat a big name like that, that’s what I need to fly up, to become super popular. So, that’s the last thing I need is just somebody with a huge name like him. I think it’s going to help me become a huge superstar.”
Shara Magomedov received quite the opportunity as the co-main event of UFC Fight Night Abu Dhabi on very short notice. That was following the announcement that Nick Diaz would not be able to compete in his originally scheduled fight with Vicente Luque. If one were to ask fans if “Bullet” made the most of his […]
Shara Magomedov received quite the opportunity as the co-main event of UFC Fight Night Abu Dhabi on very short notice. That was following the announcement that Nick Diaz would not be able to compete in his originally scheduled fight with Vicente Luque.
If one were to ask fans if “Bullet” made the most of his opportunity, they’d be split after his performance, which saw him get the decision win over Micha? Oleksiejczuk.
For all that people have been previously impressed by Magomedov, things seemed to be a problem early on. The Dagestani had the better strikes and kept his distance, busting Oleksiejczuk open with an elbow. The Polish veteran, however, landed one punch that briefly knocked “Bullet” down.
Magomedov continued to outwork him with striking in the second round, and Oleksiejczuk didn’t make much of the takedown he scored at the end of the frame.
Magomedov then cruised his way to a clear decision win, with two 30-27 scorecards and a 29-28.
Though the UFC has previously announced they intend to re-book Nick Diaz vs. Vicente Luque, Magomedov surprisingly called out the elder Diaz brother following his win.

Nobody – and I emphasise NOBODY – wants to see Shara Magomedov fight Nick Diaz. #UFCAbuDhabi
Following the best performance of his career, Shara Magomedov has the most shameless callout in years, calling for Nick Diaz, in Abu Dhabi. This is worse than Jon Jones insisting on fighting an old firefighter. https://t.co/7chRklXpb9

After scoring his 13th career win six weeks ago at UFC Saudi Arabia, Shara Magomedov returned to the Octagon on Saturday night in Abu Dhabi for a short-notice scrap with Polish powerhouse Micha? Oleksiejczuk. ‘Bullet’ entered his second fight in as many months on the heels of a big win over Antonio Trócoli in Riyadh. Before that, the undefeated Russian bested Bruno Silva at UFC 294 in October.
Meanwhile, Oleksiejczuk stepped inside the Octagon determined to snap a two-fight losing skid after suffering back-to-back submission losses against Michel Pereira and Kevin Holland.
Putting pressure on early, Oleksiejczuk landed a straight left that sat down Magomedov in the early moments of the opening round. However, it was ‘Hussar’ who was wearing all the damage after getting busted open by a perfectly-timed elbow in close.
Magomedov held the striking advantage in the second, though Oleksiejczuk made a case for himself in the final minute, scoring a takedown and threatening ‘Bullet’ with an RNC. Unable to cinch it in, Oleksiejczuk was content to hold position and potentially steal the round on the scorecards.
As Magomedov began to run away with it in the third, Oleksiejczuk once again went to ground game and secured a takedown. ‘Bullet’ fought his way back up, but quickly found himself flat on his back with less than a minute to go in the fight. Despite the unfavorable position, Magomedov lit up his opponent with some nasty elbows from the bottom just before the final bell.
Official Result: Shara Magomedov def. Micha? Oleksiejczuk via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28)

Ahead of his return at UFC Abu Dhabi this weekend, unbeaten middleweight contender, Shara Magomedov has become the latest fighter to hit out at the Paris Olympic Games, claiming the highly-scrutinized opening ceremony was “humiliating”
Magomedov, who returns to action this weekend at UFC Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, takes on Polish veteran, Michal Oleksiejczuk over the course of three rounds in the pair’s co-main event clash.
Replacing a pairing between welterweight veterans, Vicente Luque, and former title challenger, Nick Diaz on just two weeks’ notice, Magomedov makes his third Octagon walk following a prior knockout win over Antonio Trocoli back in June at UFC Saudi Arabia earlier this summer.
Shara Magomedov rips “humiliating” Olympic Games ceremony
“Honestly speaking, I was in shock,” Shara Magomedov told Red Corner MMA. “I felt like they just tried to mock everybody. It rather looked like a meme than a real official ceremony. They really mocked people watching it. I used to be a big fan of the Olympics and collected memorabilia from Atlanta, Sydney, etc. I collected those Olympic memorabilia, and it’s still kept at my place. But now I feel like burning all these stuff down.”
“Now I have no regrets about not competing at this Olympics, because now the UFC is the real Olympics for me. Not the Olympics, which is just insanity in action,” Shara Magomedov explained. “Humiliating human values and all sports. It’s not about sports, it’s just a weird mix, mocking all the religions, all the moral values. Somehow, they don’t let Russia into the Olympics, but Israel is there competing.”
