Zabit Magomedsharipov has been a name UFC fans have big hopes for. He's considered an excellent featherweight contender and many are hoping to see him reach his potential.
There have been many things keeping Zabit Magomedsharipov from competing in the UFC. It appears the health problems that gave him issues are a thing of the past. His manager, Ali Abdelaziz, recently did an interview with MMA Junkie.
“Zabit is training,” said Abdelaziz. “He is in the USADA program, but he went through some health problems. He’s back training, and I think this is a conversation me and the UFC will have probably next week about Zabit to see what the future holds for him, and we’re going to see what happens. But I believe he’s one of the baddest men in the division. I believe he can be the champion tomorrow. Alexander [Volkanovski] is a great champion, but I think Zabit is on a different level.
“It’s a conversation I need to have with [UFC matchmaker] Sean Shelby next week, and we’re going to figure out what Zabit wants to do also. It’s not just a UFC problem. Zabit has to be like, ‘Hey, I’m ready to fight this month and this date for this much money.’ And now, I will talk to Sean and we’re going to figure things out.”
Zabit Magomedsharipov has proven that he's a top name in the UFC and many are hoping to see him fight either Max Holloway or Yair Rodriguez. It will be interesting to see who he fights next.
