Known by the nickname Shara Bullet, MMA fighter Sharabutdin Magomedov recalled how his training sparring with an American ended in a bandage fight.
This incident took place in 2017.
There was history in Thailand. Were sparring in MMA. I came in with 16oz gloves and everyone else in MMA gloves. And there is such work: you change your opponent every minute. I got up with a weight from America. I didn’t know how it works, and one of the blows, remember how I knocked out the Brazilian with the heel, went on him. I carefully threw and hit. He shook his hands, jerked his head and fell on me. And then I also had a fight in China, this is already a control sparring, I have to fly away soon, it was impossible to get injured. As a result, he bykanul, climbed on me. He is heavy, and I was still a welterweight then. I took him into the clinch, I think the main thing is not to miss the legs. And he waves his arms from above, I constantly bow my head, and his blows fly like bombs over Baghdad. I see he’s borscht already. Such blows, if hit, would have knocked me out in kind. I got angry and gave him a knee in the chest. They already separated us, I gasped at him there, like: “Come here.” My friends were also there, the Hiramagomedov brothers, and we were in a mess, in the end we separated. I took off my gloves, shouting: “Come here!” And then everyone stepped back, created a circle. And the coach didn’t mind. I was in bandages, he was wearing gloves, and we were sent to fight. He remained in MMA gloves, but I took mine off, because the conditions were not equal, I have gloves of 16 ounces, and he has for MMA.
We started to fight, and of course I was surprised. Abroad, for this they can be kicked out of the hall, I did not expect that we would be allowed to fight. And I understood that these were the last sparrings before the fight, you need to work carefully, you can’t get injured. I think we need to do it so as not to get injured, and teach him a lesson. He got on me, I moved, moved, and he thought I would cut him down with him, but it was not profitable for me. I began to move in my style, left there, left here, he rushed at me, and I threw a double knee into his head. He crept up a little, he was shaken, at that moment I moved away, and he came to his senses a little. Then he immediately hugged me, saying that everything is fine, he began to remember this heel strike, like: “I got so angry because of this,” Magomedov told Sport24.
Magomedov is 28 years old, a fighter from Dagestan, has 9 victories in MMA and no losses.

Olympic champion and former interim WBA super featherweight champion Albert Batyrgaziev decided to take a break from his professional career.
At the beginning of July in Istanbul at the “IBA.PRO 8” tournament, Batyrgaziev lost early to the British James Dickens and lost the IBA.PRO champion and interim WBA champion titles in the second featherweight division. For the 27-year-old Russian, this was the first defeat in his professional career.
— I want to tell you honestly about my plans. Many people ask about their future career. Now I have decided to take a conscious break from my professional career. For me, boxing has been and remains a huge part of my life. Therefore, this choice is now very difficult. My whole sports life has been a race to the top: four Russian championships, an Olympic medal in Tokyo and then turning professional, where I went undefeated.
The last fight on July 2 was a turning point for me. The first defeat made me look at many things differently. I thank Allah for the trials and mercies that helped me become a better person. Since I have always felt a responsibility not only in the ring, but also before society, now is the time to become more active in projects that I have long planned, for example, supporting the development of sports infrastructure in my native regions. This doesn’t mean I’m saying goodbye to the ring. I remain an active boxer. But now all my work is outside of it. I thank everyone for their incredible support along this path: both in moments of triumph and in moments of challenge. She gives strength. I promise this new chapter will be just as honest and purposeful. I’m not saying goodbye, I’m just saying “goodbye,” Batyrgaziev wrote in the Telegram channel.
Batyrgaziev won gold in the weight category up to 57 kg at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. In the professional ring he has 12 wins and one loss.
