Sharabutdin Magomedov (born 16 May 1994) is a Russian
Background
Sharabutdin Magomedov was born in Dagestan, Russia in 1994. Football was the first sport he ever played, but he was ultimately kicked off his team after an argument. This led him to venture into martial arts.[2]
Magomedov started his combat sports career with boxing, where he had considerable success. After relocating to Moscow, he switched to Muay Thai, where he flourished and won the Russian championship. [3]
He suffered an injury to his right eye in 2016, and due to a lack of care, the condition worsened and required eight surgeries over the course of roughly a year and a half.[4]

He fought in Asian organizations such as "Chin Woo Men" and "The King Fighting Championship" (both from China), accumulating a record of 11-0 before making his debut in the UFC. [5]
Ultimate Fighting Championship
Magomedov made his UFC debut against Bruno Silva, on October 21, 2023, at UFC 294. [6] He won the fight via unanimous decision. [7]
