Sorry, America, “Shara Bullet” is staying abroad.
Shara Magomedov scored his second UFC win yesterday (Sat., June 22, 2024) when he knocked out short-notice opponent Antonio Trocoli within the third spherical, choosing up a $50,000 Efficiency of the Evening from inside Kingdom Enviornment in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (watch highlights).
Ever since Magomedov was signed to the promotion, there was a lot intrigue about him due to his flashy, placing, and distinctive look. To date in his UFC profession, he has solely fought within the Center East, making his debut in Abu Dhabi at UFC 294.
Followers have questioned if he will likely be making his U.S. debut anytime quickly, and on Sat., we received the reply: no.
“Can he [fight in America]? Most likely not. We’ll maintain him out right here,” UFC CEO Dana White advised the media through the UFC Saudi Arabia post-fight press convention (watch right here).
MMAMania.com can verify that Magomedov has secured a Visa to journey to the USA (as a result of he’s going to star in a film).
Nevertheless, as a result of he fights with one eye, “Bullet” would wrestle to get sanctioned to battle any U.S. state aside from Texas or Florida, as they’re fairly lackadaisical about that sort of stuff. (These states had been the one ones to sanction Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul and Evander Holyfield vs. Vitor Belfort.)
