The post read as, “Shara’s manager Ali Abdelaziz says he had a “great meeting with Dana White” and “There is nothing Preventing” his client from competing on American Soil. ” Magomedov is one of those rare fighters who has fought against all odds to make a name for himself. The 30-year-old is blind from right eye but that doesn’t bother him to put up some fantastic performances inside the Octagon. He not only has the wrestling skills but also is a lethal striker, which he proved in his last fight. However, it seems he is not satisfied with his performances yet.

After his emphatic UFC Fight Night victory, the 30-year-old wants to train under Javier Mendez next. Mendez is one of the most renowned coaches in the MMA circuit. However, more than his fighting knowledge, it’s his nature which has attracted the attention of ‘Sharabullet’. While speaking in an interview, he showed his honest appreciation towards the coach.

There are very few fighters in the UFC who have impressed the fans the way the Russian has. The 30-year-old is now eyeing the title next and wants to sharpen his skills. He has also picked his coach, and it’s none other than Javier Mendez. Mendez is one of the most renowned coaches in the MMA circuit and has trained some of the best in the sport. He has helped the Dagestani fighters reach the top level in the UFC and it seems the Russian now wants to take his help.

However, he is more impressed with his behavior rather than knowledge of the sport. While speaking at a recent interview he said, “To be honest, Javier is a very decent and honorable man. A great person to be around. He is such a down-to-earth man. Not arrogant at all, he is great. Hopefully, someday I will have the privilege to train with him. He’s still there in Dubai. I follow him on Social Media,”. Magomedov currently has no fight scheduled yet, but the fans will be desperate to see him in action soon. However, it will now be interesting to see where Sharaputdin Magomedov fights next.
