Sharabutdin Magomedov spent only a few fights in the UFC, but had already managed to get a star fan in the person of Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Portuguese came to the UFC Fight Night 250 tournament in Riyadh to support the Russian fighter, but he could not cope with the insidious British.

Page jokes

On Saturday, February 1, at the UFC Fight Night 250 tournament in Riyadh, Sharabutdin Magomedov held a fifth fight in the UFC and the 16th in a professional career. This time, Michael Page, a significant part of the sports path of which came to organizing Bellator, became an opponent of the balls of Bullet. Bookmakers called the vapor the favorite of a Russian, however, this did not guarantee our fighter of an easy battle.

The 37-year-old Briton, known for the nickname is poisonous, once won the World Cickboxing Championship, so he was unlikely to scare him with a possible zaruba with Sharabutdin in the rack. Yes, and to exhaust the opponent in the Paige stall, judging by the statements, was not opposed, although it was weak in it. True, in the middle of the first round, the Briton really tried to fight, tried to control Magomedov at the grid, but he gave his neck and did not climb into the struggle, understanding what such jokes could turn around for him.

In general, the starting segment was not easy for our fighter. Shara Bullet tried to load the opponent’s leg with Lowe, Page answered with strong jubes, and even grimaced, trying to get the opponent out of himself. The poisonous leader was in the head, and in general, it was created that the Briton was controlled by the fight.

Ronaldo was wrong

In the second round, Magomedov was in no hurry to activate: single blows to Page’s hips were not too afraid, and something more serious did not succeed in something more serious. The opponent controlled the distance and did not allow Share Bullet to find an opportunity for a good attack, and on occasion he simply ran away. Under the curtain of a five -minute segment, the poisonous also squeezed our fighter at the grid, clearly leaving the round behind him.

The ball Bullet had to take risks: he tried in the third round more aggressively punching low-kiki, but immediately missed the next Jeb into the head. A little was able to work with the knees on the body of the grid, but this was clearly not enough for success. Our fighter had a chance to win in a single round, but it was not easy to count on the decision of the judges at the end of the whole match.

Page did not show anything supernatural, he simply neutralized the strengths of the ball of the bullet. Therefore, I did not have to be surprised when the judges recognized the winner of this fight Page. Before the tournament, Ronaldo admitted, from the words of the Russian fighter, in Magomedovo the future champion UFC. After the first defeat in Sharabutdin’s career, you can doubt the rightness of the Portuguese.
