Considered one of the scariest and most anticipated prospects in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Sharaputdin Magomedov is still undefeated in his professional career so far. Starting his career only in 2017, the 30-year-old fighter from Russia is already on a thirteen-fight win streak and no losses in mixed martial arts.

With his exceptional striking and kicks, Magomedov has earned the majority of his wins via KO or TKO(10) in his professional career so far. Magomedov made his promotional debut as a middleweight against the Brazilian Bruno Silva. The fight took place at UFC 294 on October 21, 2023, in Abu Dhabi and the Russian won the bout via a unanimous decision after the three-rounder.
