Shara Bullet Magomedov becomes latest UFC fighter to join RAF crossover wrestling
Magomedov’s arrival at RAF comes after the promotion recently introduced its crossover championship titles, allowing active MMA fighters to compete for belts separate from the promotion’s elite freestyle wrestlers.
Magomedov owns a 17-1 professional MMA record and has established himself as a fan favorite in the UFC’s middleweight division. After opening his career with 15 consecutive victories, “Shara Bullet” suffered his first professional loss via decision to Michael Page before rebounding with back-to-back wins over Michel Pereira and Marc-Andre Barriault.
The 31-year-old has also competed in grappling competitions outside MMA, making the transition to RAF’s crossover format a natural fit. He has previously faced Edson Barboza and Arman Tsarukyan on the mat.
RAF has continued to expand aggressively in recent months, adding several recognizable UFC names while staging crossover events featuring former champions and established contenders.
