Magomedov and Masvidal were scheduled to meet in a grappling match at Hype FC on March 11 in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. However, Masvidal has pulled out of the matchup due to undisclosed reasons. UFC veteran Edson Barboza now steps up to grapple Magomedov on short notice.

Magomedov accuses Masivdal of ducking him. Responding to a previous callout, “Shara Bullet” warns that Brazil is not Masvidal’s hometown of Miami.
“Jorge, amigo, Brazil is not Miami, Russia is not Miami,” Magomedov said on Instagram. “Don’t play with the pirate.
Stay on the Beach
“You made the right decision running away from meeting me on March 11 in Rio,” Magomedov added in a written response. “Because after that trip, you might not have come back the same man. You would have had to answer for the words you sent my way. And deleting that video… wouldn’t have saved you anyway. So it’s better you party in Miami, lay on the beach, drink your juice and water… Better stay on the shore… or even better don’t go into the water at all. Because meeting pirates is not the same as fighting bums in some backyard. Be careful… and don’t say things like that again. Because the wind you’re blowing only fills my sails.”
Known for their elite striking, Magomedov and Barboza will now meet in a unique grappling bout. Magomedov is coming off a win over Marc Andre-Barriault in the UFC that saw him rebound from his lone professional loss against Michael Page. Meanwhile, Barboza has dropped three in a row and comes off a knockout loss against Jalin Turner.
