'Travel all seas and conquer them all!' ‘One-eyed pirate’ Sharaputdin Magomedov drops cold one-liner ahead of UFC Saudi Arabia

Sharaputdin Magomedov’s second fight in the promotion went through several tweaks. Heading into UFC Saudi Arabia, Magomedov was expected to fight Joilton Lutterbach. However, the UFC had to make last-minute changes after Lutterbach pulled out from the fight. Later, Antonio Trócoli stepped in and saved the fight. It was an added workload for UFC, which had a few busy weeks with multiple fight cancellations.

It all started with Conor McGregor pulling out his name from UFC 303. The same thing happened with the Saudi Arabia main event, where the UFC replaced a violently ill Khamzat Chimaev with Ikram Aliserov to face Robert Whittaker on short notice. Nevertheless, Sharaputdin Magomedov seems confident ahead of his fight and has done something out of the box recently.

Sharaputdin Magomedov has already landed a villain role in Hollywood

On his quest to conquer every place he goes, Sharaputdin Magomedov has now taken a new challenge other than fighting. According to reports, the Russian MMA prodigy is ready to showcase his skills on the big screen as he has been cast in a Hollywood production.

In a recent interview with Red Corner MMA, Magomedov talked about being offered the role of a killer in a Hollywood movie. According to the fighter, it’s a three-day shoot, and they will pay him well along with his visa expenses.

One of my managers told me about this idea. Three shooting days, a short film... I will need to fly to Los Angeles. They are going to pay for my visa and all the expenses. I gave it a thought and asked him about the role. He said it was a killer. I decided to take this offer. Sharaputdin Magomedov via Red Corner MMA YouTube channel 

Sharaputdin Magomedov is undefeated in his professional career with 12 wins, of which ten came via knockout. Magomedov is incredible at striking due to his background in kickboxing. Given that Magomedov is from the same area as Islam Makhachev and Khabib Nurmagomedov, his supporters have high expectations of the Dagestani middleweight fighter.
