Sharaputdin Magomedov’s Gym: Coaches, Teammates, and All About Shara ‘Bullet’s Training

The middleweight division is on alert as one of the biggest prospects out of the Russian soil has staked his claim in the Octagon. Sharaputdin Magomedov has made his mark in the UFC by clinching a victory against Bruno Silva back at UFC 294, and then proceeded to defeat Antonio Trocolli at UFC on ABC 6 and then in his last fight, edged past Michal Oleksiejczuk via decision in Saudi Arabia. Why is Magomedov special, you ask? Well, unlike his Russian counterparts in the promotion, ‘Shara Bullet’ employs an active use of Muay Thai in his combat.

Now, he’s all set to continue his undefeated trend in his third fight. Ahead of ‘Shara Bullet’s third bout under the promotion, let us have a look at who his coaches are and if he trains under the lightweight legend, Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Where does Sharaputdin Magomedov train? Gym and coaches

With a record of 14 victories and 0 losses, Sharaputdin Magomedov was one of the biggest additions to UFC last year. The Russian fighter takes inspiration from Michael Bisping for his fights, as both of them have just one good eye. Nonetheless, Magomedov has come into the promotion with one thing on his mind and that is to conquer his division, but will he be able to do it? Well, time will tell, but for now, let us have a look at his coaches.

The MMA community might be under the impression that Sharaputdin Magomedov might be training under Khabib Nurmagomedov. However, the reality is that Sharaputdin Magomedov trains under a different team with different bases. Magomedov trains under the affiliation of ‘ GOR MMA,’ based in Moscow, Russia.

The team is headed by Gor Azizyan, the head coach of the organization, and Magomedov’s chief cornerman. That’s not all, however. The Russian has some other big names in his team, which we will inspect closely.

But what about his teammates? Like most of the Dagestani mixed martial artists, is he also managed by Ali Abdelaziz? Let us find out!

Who are ‘Bullet’s teammates?

Very little is known about Sharaputdin Magomedov’s team. However, we know for a fact that it comprises Gor Azizyan as his head coach and Ali Abdelaziz as his manager. If we were to exclude them then, Magomedov has Viktor Astakhov as his Sambo and Judo Coach, Georgiy Uzun as his Boxing Coach, Narongdet Phonron as his Thai Boxing Coach, Dmitriy Sosnovskiy as his MMA coach, Pavel Danilov as his Kickboxing and Boxing Coach, Anna Savelyeva as his Taekwondo Coach, Maxim Dushanin as his Thai Boxing Coach and many more.

These people are the coaches of the ‘GOR MMA’ as well, so the fact that they have an active part in Magomedov’s journey is palpable. ‘Shara Bullet’ is on a 17-fight winning streak and has even sent forth a challenge for Marvin Vettori. Will he be able to conquer the challenges ahead of him? Only time will tell.

For now, all he is focusing on is getting his 15th career victory as a professional mixed martial artist against Armen Petrosyan, at UFC 308. What do you think about ‘Shara Bullet’ and his proficiency in the language of strikes? Let us know what you think in the comments down below.
