Conor McGregor’s ‘Road House’ Success Brings Another UFC Star to Hollywood; Sharaputdin Magomedov Talks Movie Offer

Sharaputdin Magomedov made his UFC debut against Bruno Silva last year at UFC 294. He already has a reputation for being the next big thing in the middleweight division. What’s more, he is also following in the footsteps of Conor McGregor and gearing up for an interesting stint outside the UFC Octagon!

According to Red Corner MMA, he is going to have more projects lined up outside the cage in Hollywood! Let’s see what the 29-year-old Dagestani is up to.

Sharaputdin Magomedov’s new stint in Hollywood

The first question asked to the UFC fighter in the Instagram video was related to his Hollywood stint, just like McGregor, who is starring in ‘Road House’ opposite Jake Gyllenhaal. He was offered a role in a Hollywood movie that is still under the wraps and he is supposed to be playing a killer in that movie. Confirming the news ‘Shara Bullet’ said, “Yes, we were discussing it (my manager) Ali is waiting for me. I’m getting a visa in a few days. When I get it, I will fly to America and perhaps star in that movie and train as well.”

The caption of the Instagram post shared the snippet of the whole interview stating, “Starring in a Hollywood movie, planning a fight on the UFC Saudi Arabia card, and being the third most-tested UFC fighter. Shara Bullet has got a lot going on.”

‘Bullet’ is on a roll in MMA with a 12-0 undefeated record. The 6’2″ 185-pound category fighter is ready to explore new avenues other than the UFC arena and there is something unique about him. Let’s see what it is.

What is so unique about the Bullet?

The most unique thing about the young fighter is that he cannot see through his right eye. The Dagestani has talked about himself in one of his previous interviews. He declared that this was an accident at a Thailand training camp where he had an injury to his right eye. Unfortunately, he could not save his eyesight despite multiple attempts. It slowly started getting depleted after the injury until he was completely blinded in the right eye.

The fact that he is one of the most sought-after fighters right now despite his misfortune makes his accomplishments all the more special. Not only that, but he’s also a controversial figure who has been involved in many incidents outside the cage. In May 2023, he kicked his opponent, Jakub Bilko, after losing a grappling match at the ADCC Bangkok show. He has also reportedly been involved in a scuffle with a couple over their public displays of affection.

Guess the role of a killer might be the perfect way for him to debut in Hollywood because of his unique and unusual persona and knack for trouble. Are you excited to see him in a new role?
