‘Shara Bullet’ Vows to Avenge Russian Fighters Against Michal Oleksiejczuk
Sharabutdin Magomedov, also known as “Shara Bullet,” doesn’t like the fact that his upcoming opponent has wins over his fellow countrymen.

“Frankly speaking, I wanted to fight such an experienced fighter who has 8-10 fights [in the UFC],” Magomedov told a group of reporters in Abu Dhabi. “And he, as far as I know, has around 12-13 UFC fights and also beat two Russian fighters or even three. I don’t like the fact that he beat our guys. I need to right this wrong.”
While Magomedov isn’t taking it too personally, he did not fail to take note of Oleksiejczuk’s digs at him. Magomedov claims “Hussar” offered to welcome him to the “big guys club” as if he were a “giant.” While “Bullet” admits Oleksiejczuk is a good fighter with awkward standup, the Russian claims to have completely turned the tables on many awkward fighters in the past.
“I wouldn’t say it’s too personal but he made some memes about me like, ‘If you want to join the big guys club I’m here to greet you in the Octagon.’ As if he’s kind of a giant. Yes he’s a good fighter, a solid opponent with an awkward standup, a southpaw. But throughout my entire career I have fought with awkward guys. But when the fight started I appeared to be an awkward opponent for them, not the other way around.”
