Sharaputdin Magomedov has been a sensation in the UFC with just two fights under his belt. Despite being partially blind, he is still undefeated, showcasing his unique personality and scoring skills. His debut against Bruno Silva at UFC 294 in Abu Dhabi and a win over Antonio Trocoli at UFC Fight Night in Saudi Arabia have solidified his position. But his partial blindness prevents him from fighting in the United States.

Fresh off his victory over Michal Oleksiejczuk at UFC 302, Kevin Holland has released an important update regarding Magomedov’s condition. Angered by Sharabullet’s comments in a recent interview, Holland spilled the beans on Dana White’s plans for Magomedov. According to Holland, Dana White is discussing some interesting and unexpected opportunities for Magomedov, potentially involving matchups that fans have been eagerly anticipating as Holland’s revelation has generated a lot of excitement in the MMA community, when everyone thinks what effect these systems can have and how it will play out in the future game.
The Shara Bullet Challenge
Currently in the United States, Magomedov is looking for his next fight. Being 13-0, he is drawing a lot of attention as he climbs the 185-pound ladder. In a stunning Instagram post, Magomedov challenged Kevin Holland to a fight, holding an iguana and declared, “Kevin Holland, the real pirate here, Shara ‘Bullet’ in the UFC I will kill you July 13. Momma let’s fight Let’s do it. I’m going to kill you. I’ll take your head home. Kevin Holland, let’s go.” “If the boss likes it, I like it, and he likes the look of it,” Holland was quick to respond.
Hollywood is Beckoning
After his recent win, Magomedov flew to Los Angeles to star in a short film. Despite his booming film career, his main focus is fighting top names in the UFC. But Dana White’s comments at a post-fight press conference in Riyadh have cast doubt on his ability to fight in the United States.
Can Magomedov fight in the US?
Magomedov’s future in the United States is uncertain. Dana White expressed doubts about Magomedov’s fighting ability in the US, saying, “Can he? Maybe it isn’t. We’re going to keep him here.” Although Magomedov is currently in Denver, his fighting ability is governed by athletic mandates.
Sports Commission Act
The Nevada Athletic Commission requires fighters to have good vision in their eyes, disqualifying Magomedov. But other states, like Texas and Florida, have more lax laws and may allow them to fight. Even UFC legend Michael Bisping fought with one eye and became a champion after memorizing eye test routines. Unlike Bisping, Magomedov’s condition is public knowledge, complicating his situation.
Magomedov Options
While Magomedov cannot fight in the United States, he still has the opportunity to compete internationally. The Middle East remains a viable option for its future wars, as many countries in the region conduct major war games. Promoters in places like the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain are known for producing top fights and attracting talent from all over the world and these places not only provide a platform to compete but make it possible also a practical agreement. So despite the restrictions in the United States, Magomedov’s work can still thrive on the international stage.
