Not many fighters get to attain sheer hype on their UFC debuts like Sharaputdin Magomedov. One prime reason for this is Magomedov’s roots in Dagestan, the same region that has produced elite fighters like Khabib Nurmagomedov, Islam Makhachev, and many others.

Meanwhile, ‘Bullet’ Magomedov has his own achievements to boast about. The undefeated fighter, with a professional record of 11-0, is set to face Bruno Silva at UFC 294, where he will relish a height advantage.

What is the height of Sharaputdin Magomedov?

According to the official UFC website, Sharaputdin Magomedov stands at 6’2″ (1.88 m). The 29-year-old will enjoy a 2-inch height advantage over his opponent, the 6’0″-tall Bruno Silva in Abu Dhabi. Magomedov is a high-level knockout puncher and has earned most of his victories via finishes.

The massive height of Sharaputdin Magomedov could have also played a major role in those fights. The last five opponents of Magomedov were all shorter than him. Hence, the statistical size representation favors him to have an edge over Bruno Silva. Magomedov cannot see through his right eye.

After contracting an injury during training in Thailand, Magomedov failed to regain his right eyesight despite multiple medical attempts. However, that didn’t restrict him from outclassing all of his opponents. Despite all the achievements in global promotions, Sharaputdin Magomedov has never competed at the UFC level. Now that Dagestani fighters already have a strong fanbase, ‘Bullet’ appears to have entered the UFC at the right time.

Superstardom might be knocking on his door, but Sharaputdin Magomedov will step up into a weight class full of top-level fighters.

Weight Class for ‘Bullet’ Magomedov’s UFC Debut

Magomedov vs. Silva is scheduled to happen at 185 lbs (middleweight category). ‘Bullet’ has been a natural middleweight for years and will step up to possibly alter the division this weekend.

Currently ruled by Sean Strickland, the 185-pound category is home to Israel Adesanya, Robert Whittaker, Dricus Du Plessis, and many more. Magomedov is clearly far away from the top-level picture. However, the dominant Russian fighter can come across all the big names upon attaining a few wins in the promotion.

There are four middleweight bouts on the UFC 294 main card and two on the preliminary card. Having all the 185-pounders in action, Sharaputdin Magomedov will show his best version on fight night. Like him, former welterweight champion Kamaru Usman will also step into the UFC’s middleweight category for the first time and take on Khamzat Chimaev in the co-main event.

What do you think? Will Sharaputdin be able to make his mark in the promotion like his fellow Dagestanis? Let us know in te comments!
