Shara Magomedov is making waves in the UFC world. The Dagestani fighter just scored his third straight win in the octagon. But here’s the kicker – he’s now a free agent. The fight against Michal Oleksiejczuk was the last on his UFC contract.
Magomedov’s latest victory came at UFC Abu Dhabi. He stepped in on short notice to face Oleksiejczuk, and the gamble paid off big time for the rising star. With this win, Magomedov’s UFC record stands at an impressive 3-0. He’s also pocketed two performance bonuses along the way—not too shabby for a newcomer.
But here’s where things get interesting. Magomedov’s contract with the UFC has just expired. Despite being a free agent, Magomedov seems keen to stick with the UFC. He’s already eyeing his next opponent. He called out Nate Diaz for a scrap in his next fight.
Diaz is a legend in the sport, and this matchup would certainly turn heads. But there’s a twist in Magomedov’s tale as he’s blind in one eye. This unusual condition might limit where he can fight. North American athletic commissions might not clear him. This can be a hurdle if the UFC does decide to re-sign him.
Shara Magomedov Nervous About Getting New Contract After Muhammad Mokaev Fiasco
Magomedov is riding high after his latest UFC victory, but so was Muhammad Mokaev. The rising star is now a free agent. Magomedov’s impressive 3-0 UFC record should make him a hot commodity. Yet, he’s feeling a bit nervous about his contract situation.
Why the jitters? It’s all thanks to the recent Muhammad Mokaev drama. Mokaev, another promising fighter, unexpectedly parted ways with the UFC. The split left many scratching their heads. Now, Magomedov finds himself in a similar boat. His UFC contract has just expired.

“I’ve just had my last fight under my current contract. Now I am hoping to get a new one. But after the Mokaev case, yes I am kind of nervous,” said Magomedov via Red Corner MMA.
But Magomedov isn’t losing sleep over his situation. He’s got an ace up his sleeve – or rather, two aces. His managers, Ali Abdelaziz and Rizvan Magomedov, are his secret weapons. With such faith in his team, Magomedov isn’t letting the uncertainty dampen his spirits.
