Shara Magomedov Debuts New UFC Ranking After Impressive KO

The victory marked Magomedov's third performance bonus in a row and will undoubtedly warrant a named opponent in his next fight.

Next Fight for Shara Bullet

As for Magomedov's next fight, it depends entirely on his availability and activity. Despite fighting three times in 2024, Magomedov only fought on Middle-Eastern fight cards. He will struggle to rise to the top of the pile if his availability is limited to Middle-Eastern UFC events.

The biggest name he could fight right now is No. 11 Paulo Costa, who is 1-4 in his last five performances. If the UFC wants to throw Magomedov to the wolves, matchups with Anthony Hernandez or Jack Hermansson could be considered.
