Ex-UFC featherweight fighter Zabit Magomedsharipov left the UFC after his last fight at UFC Fight Night 163. Since then, he left the promotion and hasn’t competed professionally anywhere else. However, a recent social media post from the Russian fighter has sparked rumors of a return, prompting fans to share their reactions on Instagram.

Zabit Magomedsharipov has had one of the best MMA careers so far. He has lost only once while winning on 18 occasions. Furthermore, he is undefeated in the UFC with a 6-0 record. However, after the UFC failed to give Magomedsharipov a title shot, he decided to leave the promotion. But now, it looks like a return to the Octagon could be in consideration. Let’s see what the Russian ace had to say.

Zabit Magomedsharipov shares a post with a puzzling caption

The 32-year-old Russian fighter revealed a few months back that during his time away from UFC, Dana White and his promotion approached him to come back. Zabit Magomedsharipov even revealed that this time, the UFC was willing to hand him the title shot that he believes should have been given to him a long time ago. But that did not happen since Max Holloway and Alexander Volkanovski battled for the title on multiple occasions.

Even though there was a title fight on the horizon, Magomedsharipov decided to turn down the offer. Months after revealing that story, the Russian ace recently shared a post on Instagram, with the caption: “Under Control”. This message supposedly spurred the rumors of him, probably considering a return after announcing his retirement back in 2022. As such, many fans expressed themselves on Magomedsharipov’s Instagram post, mentioning how they feel about his return. Let’s have a look at that front.
