Shara Magomedov breaks silence after UFC Saudi -Arabia
Magomedov went to Instagram a few hours after slipping to 15-1 as a professional MMA hunter.
The 30-year-old promised to bounce back while he hinted about a fight collection injury that occurred in the camp.
Magomedov endorsed an image of himself: “The pirates sails into the port, but I will return!
“I knew all the risks in intervention with such a nightmare -like health condition and preparation. I felt that despite everything I could still win – but it didn't work, and that's it.
“Thanks to the @UFC organization for this opportunity and to all involved. I wanted to set up a show and meet expectations without canceling the fight. Thank you to everyone who keeps me up in every situation! Alhamdulillah. “
Dana White dissects the first loss of Shara Magomedov
Magomedov mixed with football legend Cristiano Ronaldo for the greatest fight of his career.
After UFC Saudi Arabia, a reporter asked Dana White whether the first defeat of Magomedov could be attributed to all the extra attention he had since he scored a double-spinning backfist Ko on UFC 308 in October.
The UFC boss insists that there had nothing to do with it – he says that page is just a bad style matchup.
“No, I think styles do fights,” White said when he was asked if the pressure had defeated Magomedov.
“MVP” is a very difficult style to fight. You know, he puts back and punches. If you start flaring weapons against him, he is a really good counterpuncher. And if you find it difficult to get away, there is a lot to be staring together. He is a difficult style to fight.
“I don't think this will take him. I don't think it had anything to do with freezing him or …
“Let's not forget that he has one eye, that doesn't help.”
