Shara 'Bullet' Magomedov was told that he would need a new hairstyle to continue training in the famous MMA Gym of Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Magomedov has conquered the UFC Stormerderhand since he made his debut in 2023 and returns this weekend to the Octagon in Riyad against Michael 'Venom'. He comes from Dagestan, where legends such as Khabib and Islam Makhachev were bred to become champions, but is not part of their team.
Instead, he mainly focused on kickboxing and is now better known as a striker than most Dagestani hunters who are renowned grapplers. But it could have been very different if his first meeting with Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov had gone a different way.

“The first, I always had a long haircut and in my youth, youth, school time I heard about the gym. The problem was that to sign up there, you had to have the hairstyle. Once I went there when I went there when Khabib was young and he actually didn't train that day, so I trained.
“I left and the problem was that Abdulmanap said,” You need a short bald hairstyle “. Then I don't understand the meaning of it – it may not be disturbed in principle. Yes, well if you have it from outside Take, why do you grow it?
“You want to look beautiful for girls, and it shouldn't be there for a hunter. An athlete has to concentrate on his own training and then the girls will come when you get high titles on five levels and you have no hair on your head. ”

“This is where their story started and you can see where it led to and this is a big story. Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov would sometimes say things and you would think it is a little something, but then you look into the depths of what it is and today we see what he has learned. “
