Sharabutdin Magomedov recently claimed that he is in talks for a grappling match against Alex Pereira. “Shara Bullet’s” manager, Rizvan Magomedov also confirmed the same. Rizvan says that “Shara Bullet” is waiting for an event in the Middle East or somewhere else outside the U.S. for his next UFC fight since he is not licensed to fight in the U.S. In the meantime, Magomedov is keeping himself active by competing in grappling matches. Rizvan says negotiations are underway for a grappling match against Pereira.

“I think Shara is quietly transitioning from a striker to a wrestler,” Rizvan told Sport 24. “Meanwhile, regarding his fight, we’re waiting for a date ideally. An event in the Middle East or somewhere else. Since for obvious reasons he can’t compete in the United States. And he’s filling this free time with these kinds of matches. But it’ll be interesting to watch the fight. It’s essentially two strikers, two specialized strikers who’ll be [grappling]… The negotiations are ongoing.”
“Shara Bullet” (16-1) has partial vision in one eye, which doesn’t allow him to compete in the U.S. However, it has added to Magomedov’s stardom as a pirate. The dynamic striker entered the UFC in 2023 as an undefeated prospect and went on a four-fight winning streak before suffering his only professional loss against Michael Page. “Shara Bullet” has since rebounded with a unanimous decision win over Marc Andre-Barriault in July 2025 and hasn’t fought in the UFC since. The 31-year-old grappled Arman Tsarukyan to a draw in Armenia in December.
Meanwhile, Pereira (13-3) reclaimed his light heavyweight title with a knockout win over Magomed Ankalaev in their title rematch in October 2025. While “Poatan” has been calling for a White House booking against Jon Jones, “Bones” recently revealed that he might be done fighting.
