Shara Magomedov has unveiled everything about the health problem that hindered him at UFC Saudi Arabia.
'Bullet' struggled to land meaningful shots while losing Michael 'Venom' page last weekend.
In a post-battle statement, the one-eyed Russian blamed his first career defeat for a 'nightmare-like health status' but he did not immediately reveal the nature of the ailment that had so far hindered him in his greatest fight.

Shara Magomedov emphasizes the health status
The morning after 15-1 falls as a pro-Mma hunter, Magomedov spoke with Ushatayka.
During the interview, the 30-year-old called the 'nightmare-like' health status that influenced him so badly during his fight with page.
“I was not my true self in the Octagon. Unfortunately there were only 30 percent of me in it, “said Magomedov.
“It was the worst camp in my entire professional MMA career. I have never felt so sick in the cage. My legs had disappeared, my arms felt weak and I have many health problems that I don't want to reveal. It was a lot of problems that influenced my performance. My mind was there, but my body was eliminated.
“I have dysbacteriosis and parasitosis in my intestine and I have problems with my bile current. I hoped to solve this problem, at least before the fight, but it is still there.
“That's why I couldn't keep the right pace. I felt sick after throwing just a few punches, so I needed a break. After every pair of punches, just moving on my feet for a minute, I was even afraid that I could surrender in the fight. When I went back to my corner after the first round, I felt that I was about to surrender.
“All the bile that held here did not let me work. It is still there now. My legs had disappeared. “
Michael 'Venom' page responds to apologies from the opponent
Magomedov has been told 'Keep it for yourself' per page in the aftermath of their fight.
The 37-year-old was somewhat critical of the way his opponent had responded to the loss by saying that he was in danger to go into the match, instead of keeping this information for himself.
Page said: “For me, if I would give [Shara Bullet] Every advice that improves … If you accept the fight, knowing that you have had it [an injury] The result is the result prior to the fight. If you win, you can say what you want.
“If you lose, you know, just keep it for yourself. He could be completely factual, but it just happens wrong, comes across as an excuse … that would be my only advice for him. “
