The Russian created beauty again.
Sharabutdin Magomedov, known to the vast majority of fans as Shara Bullet, is climbing the tournament rankings surprisingly quickly. Previously, the Russian managed to fight only two fights in the UFC, but today he already competed in the co-main fight of a fairly large tournament. Shara’s opponent was Polish athlete Michal Olekseichuk, who was on a two-fight losing streak. However, Michal lost to very serious guys – Michel Pereira and Kevin Holland.
Magomedov was considered the favorite for the fight with Olekseychuk – our compatriot happily stormed into the best promotion in the world and pleased Dana White himself. On the other hand, the Polish fighter could not be discounted, especially considering his vast experience. Olekseychuk has been competing in the UFC since 2017, beat such strong guys as Gadzhimurad Antigulov and Sam Elvey, and he certainly did not look like a punching bag. That is why, before the fight, I was a little worried about Bullet, despite all the confidence that our fighter radiated.
The first round started without any preparation: the opponents moved a lot and threw combinations. Olekseychuk sought to capture the center of the octagon, the Russian stayed near the net and counterattacked. At the same time, Shara worked effectively as usual, actively throwing elbows and roundhouse kicks. One of these elbows caused a deep cut to Michal. Bullet also did not forget to kick his opponent’s legs, regularly throwing low kicks. In general, our compatriot looked more effective than his opponent, although the Pole continued to stubbornly advance.
In the second round, Olekseychuk slowed down a bit, realizing that he wouldn’t last long at this pace. Shara continued to stay close to the net, where she felt comfortable. In the second minute, Bullet made a very powerful straight shot, after which Michal slowed down even more. Yes, the Russian also missed shots, but they weren’t as dangerous as Shara himself. In the last minute, the Pole managed to get a takedown that allowed him to rest a little.
We explain the phenomenon of Bullet’s popularity:
“Simple Russian men” and bright style. Why everyone loves Sharu Bullet
Before the third round, the corner advised Bullet to kick less and use his hands more often. The scenario of the fight remained approximately the same: Shara did not pursue the finish, confidently outplaying his opponent from a distance. Michal threw fewer and fewer punches, and his movements became slower by the minute. It seemed that the fight would end like this, but the Polish fighter managed to drag his opponent into the fight. However, this did not help him: the Russian won by unanimous decision! Bullet continues to conquer the UFC.
